There is new news for women at risk for or who have breast cancer. There is a study out that says that women at risk or who have breast cancer should get MRIs along with mammograms. They say that the MRI is better at finding increased or abnormal blood flow. The only down fall to this is that the MRI may show a false positive leading to biopsies that are not necessary. Most women are ok with that. If a woman has cancer in one breast the MRI is better at finding cancer in the other breast. They do say that if you are not at risk, the MRI is not necessary. They are much more expensive than mammograms and some insurance companies do not cover them.
