Mammography of breast carcinoma in women who have mutations of the breast cancer gene BRCA1: initial experience

AJR. American Journal of Roentgenology

Abstract

We describe for the first time (to our knowledge) the mammographic appearance of breast cancer and breast density in carriers of the breast cancer gene BRCA1. The mammographic appearance of breast cancer in BRCA1 carriers was similar to that in the general population. All mammographic densities were observed. Appropriate mammographic management of these extremely high-risk patients is yet to be determined.
