Women whose breast cancer is detected  by mammography have a lower risk of the cancer recurring after  treatment compared to those who discover a tumor by other  means, a Finnish study said on Tuesday.

A study released Tuesday effectively dashed hopes that a new test can accurately detect breast cancer in young, high-risk women. Researchers had hoped the test, known as ductal lavage, could detect cancer in milk ducts before it shows up on mammograms.

WEDNESDAY, Jan. 16 (HealthDay News) -- A new genetic test that helps assess the risk of tumor recurrence and long-term survival for patients with relatively high-risk breast cancer has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

In what&#39;s being described as the largest study of its kind into breast cancer risk factors, a new project will look at 50,000 sisters of women with the disease to try to determine the environmental and genetic causes.

This year, approximately 1,090 North Carolina families will experience the loss of a woman they love due to breast cancer. Some of these deaths may be avoided if the breast cancer had been detected earlier through regular examinations.
