EJR: Limit use of breast CT to at-risk patients
By Rebekah Moan
CT is great at staging breast cancer, but due to cost and radiation, ideally it should be restricted to patients most at risk from metastases. Also, a prompt review of current breast cancer staging guidelines is required to ensure consistency in patient selection for CT staging, researchers have noted in an article in the European Journal of Radiology.
