Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: There is no consensus on whether magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) should be included in breast screening protocols for women with BRCA1/2 mutations age ≥ 50 years. Therefore, we investigated the evidence on age-related screening accuracy in women with BRCA1/2 mutations using individual patient data (IPD) meta-analysis. PATIENTS AND METHODS: IPD were pooled from six high-risk screening trials including...
