Breast Cancer Breakthrough

Questions over when women should be screened for breast cancer and concerns about false positive results that lead to unnecessary biopsies may be nearing the end! A study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association looked at a new screening method that uses 3-D mammography which resulted in a 15 percent reduction of call-backs for additional screening while finding of the more tiny, potentially fatal tumors. Additional research published in Clinical Cancer Research indicated that one day doctors may be able to differentiate between benign and malignant lesions without the need for a biopsy! Great news for women's health!
