New MRI Contrast Agent Can Tell Aggressive Breast Cancer From Other Types

There are many types of cancer in several categories, such as estrogen receptor-positive and triple-negative breast cancers. Some are more aggressive than the others, and there can be a large difference in how the breast cancer is treated.
So figuring out the type of cancer is important, and the earlier this is found the better.
Magnetic resonance imaging machines can see the breast cancer tumors with the help of contrast agents. But differentiating between the types of breast cancer has been too much to ask.
That is, until now.
