Emerging Breast Cancer Risk Predictor
✦AI Summary
New research indicates that background parenchymal enhancement (BPE) on breast MRIs may be a more effective indicator of breast cancer risk for Black women than traditional breast density measurements. This finding could help address persistent mortality disparities by improving early detection.
Breast density has become a cornerstone of breast cancer risk assessment and decisions about supplemental MRI screening. But new research suggests another MRI finding - background parenchymal enhancement (BPE) - may reveal important risk information that density alone misses, particularly for Black women.
