American Cancer Society - The US Food and Drug Administration has approved MammaPrint, a new genetic test that can help predict whether a woman's early stage breast  cancer is likely to come back after initial treatment. The test is one of several that could help breast cancer patients and their doctors make decisions about how aggressively to treat the disease.

Mammograms have become a rite of passage for 40-year-old American women, and a compulsory exercise for those over 40. But as rote as those annual screenings might seem, there's nothing routine about a diagnosis of breast cancer.

NEW YORK  - Women in their 40s, who tend to  have relatively dense breast tissue, are more likely to have a  breast tumor missed on a screening mammogram than are older  women, new study findings suggest.

A test currently available on the market can predict which breast cancer patients are at risk for their cancer to recur, which could be a vital tool for deciding if further treatment, such as chemotherapy will be useful or safely avoided.

TORONTO -- MRI scans find breast cancer twice as well as traditional screening procedures, a Canadian-led study says, but resear-chers say only the most at-risk women should consider the procedure because of its tremendous false positive rate.

WEDNESDAY, Sept. 5 (HealthDay News) -- An experimental lung cancer screening test designed to look for precancerous genetic damage could help better identify patients at risk for the disease, while opening up the possibility for earlier diagnoses and preventive treatments, a new study suggests.

CHICAGO Full-body computed tomography, or CT, scans increase a person&#39;s risk of cancer, according to a study released Tuesday in the journal Radiology that raises questions about the growing popularity of these screenings among healthy people.

Scientists in the United States are  developing a screening test for breast cancer that checks a  woman's saliva for evidence of the disease to help find tumors  early, when they are most treatable.
