Re: Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Mammography in Women With a Hereditary Risk of Breast Cancer 论文

摘要

In a recent report, Stoutjesdijk et al. (1) determined that the operating char-acteristics of magnetic resonance imag-ing (MRI) were superior to mammogra-phy in a cohort of women, predominantly less than 50 years of age, who were at high risk for breast cancer. Similarly, other studies have found that mammog-raphy is a suboptimal screening method in BRCA1/2 mutation carriers (2,3) and that MRI may be superior (4,5). We examined the sensitivity of mam-mography in a retrospective cohort of Ashkenazi Jewish women who were di-agnosed with primary invasive breast
