Foreword
I willingly accepted to write a foreword for this book focused on breast MRI for high-risk screening for many reasons. My connections with the two editors represent the first reason. Francesco Sardanelli is a Professor of Radiology at the Milan University, where I served as a Professor of Radiation Oncology up until less than 2 years ago. Franca Podo, former Research Director of the Molecular and Cellular Imaging Unit at the Istituto Superiore di Sanità in Rome, has been also involved in the development of clinical MRI in Italy from the viewpoint of regulatory health authorities since the early 1980s. At the end of the 1990s, they launched the Italian multicenter study (HIBCRIT) that contributed to build the evidence in favor of MRI for screening women at high risk of breast cancer. The second reason is related to the general evolution of breast cancer management in the last decades, which I had the fortune to witness and cooperate to from my position of Head of the Radiation O
