New research suggests that the tissue environment where microcalcifications of the breast are formed could hold clues into how breast cancer progresses.

New data suggest that it may not be necessary for women older than 65 with hormone receptor-positive breast cancer to undergo radiotherapy after breast-conserving surgery and hormone therapy, as it does not impact death rates or metastasis risk.

Preoperative ultrafast MRI could help guide biopsy and surgical management decision in patients with ductal carcinoma in situ. 

Whether poor, wealthy or somewhere in between, women being treated for breast cancer tend to suffer significant financial setbacks.

Prior research has shown that not only is contrast-enhanced spectral mammography comparable to CE-MRI in accuracy of loco-regional staging, but some studies have even found it to perform better.

Prenatal MRI is adept at revealing potentially damaging placental lesions affecting fetuses whose mothers were infected with COVID-19 while carrying.

These trends include growth in 3D mammography, supplemental imaging for women with dense breasts and in the role of artificial intelligence.

The modality outperformed digital breast tomosynthesis, handheld ultrasound and automated breast ultrasound for cancer detection in a large cohort of women with dense breast tissue.
