BMJ: Use MRI to investigate young BRCA1/2 mutation carriers
Women carrying a mutation in the BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes who have undergone a mammogram or chest x-ray before the age of 30 are more likely to develop breast cancer, researchers from Amsterdam noted yesterday in the British Medical Journal (BMJ).
