In response to Role of MRI in Breast Cancer posted by tinuviel:


The 3% increase means that the MRI evaluation picked up 3% more of the cases compared to when clinical breast examination and mammography are used. This implies that it is superior to the latter methods.

There are pitfalls e.g. cost. I know that there are new guidelines that have been developed as to when an MRI is warranted. For example I believe that those women at high risk would be included. This issue may be the subject of a future article.
