The last thing anyone wants to receive is a positive cancer diagnosis . But, unfortunately, one out of every eight women in America will receive a positive breast cancer diagnosis in their lifetimes.

As with any diagnosis based on a medical image, there is a possibility of a misread screening. This could result in a false positive that leads to unnecessary worry, stress, treatment or even surgery. In fact, a 2001 National Cancer Institute study found that over half of women experienced at least one false positive if they had regular screenings for 10 years.

For these women, a second opinion could be the difference between immediately returning to a normal life and undergoing invasive and completely preventable surgery.
