Women with high-risk pathological variants for breast cancer as identified by genetic testing and risk assessment are about 10 times more likely to undergo breast MRI, a study published January 13 in JAMA Network Open has found. Researchers led by Leah Naghi, MD, from the City of Hope National Medical Center in Duarte, CA, reported that women with inherited pathological variants who discuss their breast cancer risk with their doctors had more consistent MRI uptake than women with lower estimated
