Summary

We aim to compare the sensitivity of mammography to the sensitivity of Molecular Breast Imaging (a new gamma-camera based breast imaging technology) in women with dense breast tissue who are at increased risk for breast cancer.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Past prior screening mammography (SM) interpreted as negative or benign (This screening must have been performed at Mayo Clinic Rochester, Minnesota).
  • Past prior SM interpreted as heterogeneously dense or extremely dense (This screening must have been performed at Mayo Clinic Rochester, Minnesota).
  • Women younger than 50 years who had not undergone prior mammography, as most of these women have dense breasts.
  • Subjects had to have at least one of the following risk factors:
  • Known mutation in breast cancer susceptibility gene 1 (BRCA1) or breast cancer susceptibility gene 2 (BRCA2)
  • History of chest, mediastinal, or axillary irradiation
  • Personal history of breast cancer
  • History of prior biopsy showing atypical ductal hyperplasia, atypical lobular hyperplasia, lobular carcinoma in situ, or atypical papilloma
  • Gail or Claus model lifetime risk greater than or equal to 20%
  • Gail model 5 year risk greater or equal to 2.5%
  • Gail model 5 year risk greater or equal to 1.6%
  • One first-degree relative with history of breast cancer
  • Two second-degree relatives with history of breast cancer

Exclusion Criteria

  • They are unable to understand and sign the consent form
  • They are pregnant or lactating
  • They are physically unable to sit upright and still for 40 minutes.
  • They have self-reported signs or symptoms of breast cancer (palpable mass, bloody nipple discharge, axillary mass etc.).
  • They have had needle biopsy within 3 months, or breast surgery within 1 year prior to the study.
  • They are currently taking tamoxifen, evista (raloxifene), or an aromatase inhibitor for adjuvant therapy or chemoprevention.
