Advances in Breast Cancer Screening, Diagnosis

Video

This video highlights recent studies advancing the field of breast cancer screening and diagnosis, including the potential need for increased surveillance in patients with false positives and patient access to mammography.

In this video, Sarah M. Friedewald, MD, of the Northwestern Medicine Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago, highlights recent studies advancing the field of breast cancer screening and diagnosis, including patient access to mammography and the potential need for increased surveillance in patients with false positives, as they may be at increased risk for breast cancer.

Friedewald was a discussant for a spotlight session on this topic at the 2017 San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium (SABCS).
