A study using MRI scans to help detect breast cancer early in women at high risk

This study used MRI scans to compare levels of fatty acids in the breast tissue of women with and without a BRCA gene change. People with a BRCA gene change (mutation) have an increased risk of developing breast cancer.

The study was supported by Cancer Research UK. It was open for people to join between 2019 and 2022. The team presented the results at a conference in 2024.
