Improved Breast Screening Could Save Hundreds of UK Lives
A UK study suggests that adding contrast-enhanced mammography or abbreviated MRI to breast screening could identify 3,500 extra cancers yearly, saving 700 lives, by detecting cancers hidden in dense breast tissue, a factor affecting 10% of women.
