Why Breast Cancers Get Missed

Explore how and why cancers are missed, and how imaging pathology correlation, structured interpretation, and pattern recognition can improve early detection in practice.

  • Watch the 5-part video series below before the live session.
  • Join Dr. Tabár in a live, interactive Q&A webinar on May 21, 2026 at 10:00 AM CDT to discuss cases and real-world applications.

Watch Now: Part I (30 min)
  • Increase your confidence in diagnostic skills through understanding the process causing the pathologic lesions seen on the mammogram, US, and MRI
  • Provide immediate and unique histopathologic feedback using large format thick and thin section histopathology
  • Improve communication with your peers

Watch Now: Part III (23 min)
  • Provide cases to practice viewing mammograms by using the strongly suggested viewing technique
  • Demonstrate that patient outcome could have been altered had one used the efficient viewing technique
