Update on Breast Care

Breast MRI is still the most accurate tool for breast cancer detection, especially in problem solving cases as well as lobular cancer, DCIS management, as well as preoperative staging, evaluating response to neoadjuvant therapies or recurrence. Precise detection in any case may be ultimately critical for the patients’ outcome. 

In this webinar we will have the opportunity to listen to presentations from experts on breast imaging, mostly focusing on breast MRI as a valuable tool for preoperative imaging and evaluation.
