MR spectroscopy of biopsy specimen could spare breast surgery
Australian investigators are heading up a research project that will look at the viability of MR spectroscopy analysis of primary breast lesions. This pre-surgical methodology will separate benign tumors from malignant ones, and determine if cancer has spread to the lymph nodes.
