Less than 20 years ago the only weapons in the arsenal of breast oncologists were chemotherapy and tamoxifen. Today there are many molecules that can potentially target the known oncogenes. The discovery of HER2 and the development of trastuzumab pioneered the field of targeted therapy in breast cancer. Breast imagers partner with their oncology colleagues to screen for breast cancer and to evaluate response to therapy. Although mammography, breast ultrasound, and breast MRI are excellent imaging tools, molecular breast imaging (MBI) has the potential to become a screening modality.
