Revolutionary MRI Technique Advances Early Breast Cancer Detection

Apollo Athenaa Women's Cancer Centre in the national capital has implemented an advanced MRI-guided breast biopsy method to enhance early detection of breast cancer, especially in women with dense breast tissue. This innovation aims to address diagnostic challenges, improving outcomes by ensuring timely intervention.

A leading cancer centre in the national capital has pioneered a cutting-edge MRI-guided breast biopsy method to significantly improve early cancer detection. Recent studies reveal that 10-20% of breast cancers may go undetected during standard mammography in women with dense breast tissue.

The Apollo Athenaa Women's Cancer Centre has officially launched the MRI-guided Vacuum-Assisted Breast Biopsy (MRI-guided VABB) as part of its mission to catch elusive cancers missed in routine screenings. This innovation promises earlier and more accurate confirmation of cancer, particularly in younger Indian women, who often face late diagnoses with more aggressive treatments.

Utilizing high-resolution MRI and AI-support protocols, the hospital has slashed scan times from 50 minutes to under 15 without compromising diagnostic accuracy. This advancement is crucial for women with dense breasts or those at a higher cancer risk, making screenings more accessible and effective.
