In Brief
A clinical study evaluating questionnaire administration, digital mammography, and 1 other intervention for Breast Cancer. Completed, enrolled 193 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
RATIONALE: Screening tests may help doctors find cancer cells early and plan better treatment for breast cancer. It is not yet known whether positron emission mammography is more effective than standard mammography in finding breast tumors.
