Summary
This study looked at 200 women aged 25-55 who have a high genetic risk of breast cancer due to BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene mutations. Researchers tested new screening methods like breast MRI and duct lavage alongside standard mammograms to see if they could detect cancer earlier. The goal was to compare breast tissue differences between mutation carriers and non-carriers and improve early detection.
