- NewsWise: A Komen-funded study – including Komen Scholar Dr. Mary Claire King and led by Komen Scholar Dr. Olufunmilayo Olopade – showed that getting magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans twice per year instead of one annual mammogram is far more effective at detecting early breast cancers in young women with a high-risk genetic profile than mammograms alone.
