First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether MRI scans can detect how well breast cancer responds to chemotherapy early in treatment. Sixteen women with invasive breast cancer received standard chemo before surgery, and their MRI results were checked by two radiologists. The goal was to see if MRI measurements are reliable enough to guide treatment decisions.
