Abstract
Second-opinion review is valuable in patients pursuing a breast imaging specialist's opinion, even before they are diagnosed with breast cancer. Second-opinion review disagreed with the original interpretation for 47% of lesions, averted 25% of originally recommended biopsies, and detected cancer in 29% of additional biopsies recommended. Thirty-five percent of cancers diagnosed after second-opinion review were not initially detected in the original interpretation.
