New Frontiers in Breast Cancer Research, Part I: Advances in Imaging and Diagnosis
Executive Summary
After years of working for a "cure" for breast cancer, researchers have come to realize the enormity of the task. Although therapeutic advances are making it possible for women with advanced breast cancer to live longer, more comfortable lives, scientists still have a long way to go before they fully understand this complex disease. At this year's Society of Surgical Oncology's annual Cancer Symposium, researchers zeroed in on several key areas that could eventually unlock new methods of controlling, and possibly eliminating, this all too pervasive threat.

Breast Cancer Detection: New Technologies Push the Envelope
Technologies for breast cancer detection are evolving rapidly as manufacturers work to push the diagnostic envelope beyond standard screening mammography, ultrasound technology, and magnetic resonance imaging. At two recent meetings, the November 2010 meeting of the Radiology Society of North America and the March 2011 meeting of the European Congress of Radiology, several presentations focused on the latest research and technology developments in breast cancer detection.
