A new breast scan using a souped-up kind of X-ray called a CT scan may be more accurate than a standard mammogram -- and much less uncomfortable, U.S. researchers reported on Monday.

Women with a high genetic risk for breast cancer run a better chance of having it detected with magnetic resonance imaging than with mammography and other methods, researchers said on Tuesday.

A new long-term study finds that, over 20 years, only one in five women who have mammograms every two years will have to undergo follow up evaluation for a false positive finding.

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.

Women at the highest levels of hereditary risk for breast cancer should be offered magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) breast screening, a new study recommends.

FRIDAY, Aug. 27 (HealthDayNews) -- A mammogram may be less effective if a woman is on hormone replacement therapy (HRT), a new British study finds.

Most women 40 and older have had their breasts checked for lumps by a doctor or nurse at least once. But little is known about whether these clinical breast exams save lives by detecting cancers early.

People having full body scans to find potential health problems may wind up creating one, researchers suggest. Radiation from computed tomography, or CT, scans will result in a modest increase in the risk

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is more accurate than mammography, ultrasound or clinical examination in detecting breast cancer in women with a hereditary risk for the disease, a study has found.

Technology that doctors expect will help detect precancerous cells faster and less painfully also could someday take cameras to parts of the body where no camera has gone before.

(Ivanhoe Newswire) -- It can be very daunting for a woman to have to undergo additional tests after a mammogram and then to find out there is nothing wrong.

SUNDAY, Sept. 24 (HealthDay News) -- An abnormal mammogram can cause understandable worry. But what's the best next step a woman should take?

A new study finds that, for some women, a mammogram may not be the best way to detect early breast cancer. Researchers say women who have the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genetic mutations run a better chance of having

A technique called molecular breast imaging (MBI) is highly sensitive in detecting small lesions and can also spot tumors missed by mammography and ultrasound, researchers report.

Tiny, tumor-seeking probes can slow the growth of aggressive breast cancers in mice, leaving surrounding tissue unharmed, U.S. researchers reported on Tuesday.

A new study released today revealed that most women get their first mammogram screening at the age of 40. 40 is the recommended age to begin annual screening for breast cancer.
