Technologies for Detecting Breast Cancer: What Is Best for Me?
Special Program [Return to listing page]
In the United States this year, more than 180,000 people have been diagnosed with breast cancer. Although many cases are treatable, early detection is essential. Current technologies for imaging cancer include mammography, ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), as well as new molecular techniques. Are these detection methods equally powerful? Are they ideal for all women, regardless of age and ethnicity? Or, are there advantages of one technology over another?
Join us in the Gordon Current Science & Technology Center on Sunday, October 5 for a discussion of the current technologies that are being used to detect breast cancer. Hear short talks from three esteemed physicians and ask them questions of your own.
