Question
Hi I had a MRI screening (ALH, family hx and density). A linear enhancement was
found. They recommended a MRI biopsy. What are the chances it is DCIS? Thank
you
It is impossible to give you some sort of percentage probability based only on the information in your question. If I had read her MRI breast scan report I MAY have been able to tell you more. However it is probable that this biopsy is done just to be on the safe side in view of your family history.
