Status:
Phase:
This study is for premenopausal women aged 39.5 to 50.5 years who have healthy breast tissue on a mammogram.
It will compare the mammograms and MRI scans of women who were investigated for symptoms and had normal breast tissue on a scan, in women at high and low risk of developing breast cancer.
