Had A Mammogram, Test Detected Not Good. Can Tysabri Cause A False Finding?
I know you can not have an MRI right after recieving your infusion of Tysabi because it can cause a false reading. I recently had a mammogram right after my infusion, not thinking there might be a problem me doing so. I received a call from my doc. today, telling me I needed to come back in because the test did not look good:( It has not been that long since I saw my OB and had a breast exam. Everything seemed to be ok. My last mammogram looked fine as well,. I m just wondering if the Tysabri could have caused a false finding? WWW.WWWW.WW

Hi,
Tsyabri is natalizumab a monoclonal antibody generally is used to treat relapsed multiple sclerosis also has some other indications. It can cause suppression of immunity. Mammogram report is not changed by its infusion. So you better consult your treating physician regarding the abnormality found in breast imaging. Your radiologist can better give you the right interpretation. take care.
