MRI before surgery leads to better-adapted treatment for breast cancer
Date:4/16/2008

mammography or ultrasound. MRI is being used more frequently in breast cancer pre-operative staging these days, and we thought it was important to validate its efficacy.

MRI is expensive, but with results such as these it should be used as widely as possible pre-surgery, say the scientists. It will not only improve the surgical treatment, which was our main aim, but in the long run it will probably reduce costs to healthcare systems by allowing us to identify exactly what needs to be treated, and in what way, to avoid possible recurrences of the cancer and the costs associated with its treatment, said Dr. Martinez-Cecilia. We will continue working prospectively with this issue as we would like to see MRI become a standard preoperative treatment for breast cancer, along with biopsy, mammography, and ultrasound.
