Current Alert: If you have been diagnosed with Breast Cancer, consider getting a MRI of both breasts before you do any treatment! A MRI would not be appropriate for:

When a woman is diagnosed with breast cancer there is a 25% chance there is a secondary site of breast cancer that is not detectable using mammography. Dr Brem established a new protocol that requires all newly diagnosed breast cancer patients have a MRI of both breasts before any treatments or surgeries. If a secondary site is discovered a MRI biopsy is performed. This protocol reduces mastectomies when secondary sites are benign and increases overall success when secondary cancerous sites are discovered. Talk to your doctor about a MRI prior to surgery for breast cancer.
