Precision Imaging in Breast Cancer

Video

This video highlights four posters from SABCS on the use of mammography, magnetic resonance imaging, and radiomics as biomarkers for treatment response.

In this video, Maxine S. Jochelson, MD, of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York, discusses four posters on the use of mammography, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and radiomics as biomarkers for treatment response.

Jochelson was a discussant for a spotlight session titled, “Breast Cancer Imaging: Predictive Markers and Response Assessment,” at the 2017 San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium (SABCS), held December 5–9 in San Antonio, Texas.
