CHICAGO (FOX 32 News) - One out of every eight women will get breast cancer in her lifetime. A startling figure, but the chances for survival skyrocket with early detection

Dr. Sally Friedewald, medical director of the Lynn Sage Comprehensive Breast Center and chief of breast and women's imaging for Northwestern Medicine, joined us LIVE on GDC to talk more about this new technology.
