A member asked:
Which is better if i am extremely high risk for breast cancer. mri or 3-d mammagram?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably MRI: MRI have been used for high risk women to identify cancer. The 3d mammogram is better then regular mammogram + digital mammogram, but been around for couple of years, so we don't have long term data yet. Talk to your doctor or a breast surgeon to discuss which one you qualify for if you are truly high risk.
