View Medical News MRI for the detection of early breast cancer [2/0] Vote Up Vote Down http://scienceblogs.com/insolence/2007/08/mri_for_the_detect... Submitted by allen 15 months, 1 week, 22 hours ago After a lot of the not-so-Respectful Insolence™ of the last couple of weeks, I've been meaning to get back to living up to the name of the overall mega-blog, namely ScienceBlogs. Meeting up with my fellow SB'ers over the weekend in New York Fortunately, last week a topic just so happened to pop up related to my area of expertise, when a study in The Lancet was published evaluating the use of MRI in breast cancer. It happened to get a bit of press when it came out last month, some of it a bit breathless, as though this were a revolutionary observation. (To some extent it was unexpected, but it wasn't really revolutionary.) I'm also waiting with a little bit of trepidation for my patients to start asking about it or to start demanding MRI once again, as I did a few months ago when some rather poorly justified guidelines were published by the American College of Physicians. Don't worry, though. I'm sure I'll find some red meat topics again soon enough.
