As part of our MBCC coverage we discuss MRI screening for breast cancer in patients who carry a BRCA mutation or have a first-degree relative who is a BRCA carrier.
Reports that combined magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and mammography is the best method of detecting breast cancer in patients with high genetic risk. Study published online by "The Lancet"; Indication that MRI was nearly twice as sensitive...
Disease and Condition: Breast Cancer (Facts, Stages)Mammogram MRI Breast Guidelines for Screening Comments More According to studies, breast cancer screening using MRI two times a year is considered better than one mammogram per year. Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women, ...
The Future of Breast Cancer Screening Given the clear benefits of other means of more accurate screening, why aren’t they the standard for all women? The answer lies in the complex interplay of cost, insurance and accessibility. However, there is hope on the horizon. Advances in technology ...

One of the options to reduce the risk of breast cancer mortality for women with a familial or genetic predisposition is intensive surveillance. However, the effectiveness of mammography screening for breast cancer in these women, who are mainly younger than 50 years, is unproven. MRI might ...
MRI screening for breast cancer delivers consistent rates of cancer detection and fewer false-positive results over time, according to a new study published online and in the April print edition of Radiology.
We have successfully performed an MR screening study on 181 patients at high risk for breast cancer that did not have an actionable mammogram or clinical finding prior to study entry. Abnormal MRI findings prompted a total of 31 biopsies, 6 of which yielded malignant findings. The cancer yield...
Cancer screening of women with dense breast tissue is a subject of great interest to both the medical community and the press. Dense parenchyma reduces the sensitivity of mammography to half that of fatty breasts. Approximately 40% of women 40 years of age or older have dense breast tissue, ...
