If you have a strong family history of breast cancer, an MRI could be a screening option for you. Strong family history refers to close relatives like your mom or sister who had breast cancer before the age of 50. But, it also includes other family members like aunts and cousins - even on your dad’s side. Any relatives having other forms of cancer such as ovarian cancer, can contribute to your risk too. Our radiologist or your primary care physician can take a look at your family history and see if an MRI breast screening is right for you. Genetic counseling may be recommended to help understand your risk further.
