I asked my husband( general surgeon) about what you said about tumor doubling times and he said one can't say what you mentioned, as it totally depends on the type of tumor, aggressive or not, etc. Plus, there is a very large difference between Tamoxifen and Arimidex-they don't work quite the same at all and are prescribed for different types of tumors, whether someone is pre or post menopausal, etc. MRIs have a very high false positive rate as it's overly sensitive(I have had 2 a year apart now) and the cost is less than the $3000-3500 cost for genetic screening that insurance rarely pays for!

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
