Brian Wojciechowski, M.D., practices medical oncology in Delaware County, Pennsylvania at Riddle, Taylor, and Crozer hospitals and also serves as Breastcancer.org's medical adviser. A native of South Philadelphia, he trained at Temple University School of Medicine and Lankenau Medical Center. Dr. Wojciechowski is a sought-after speaker on the topics of medical ethics and the biology of cancer.

• the difference between 2D and 3D mammograms
• why 3D mammograms are a standard of care, but not the standard of care
• how to find a center that offers 3D mammography, if you decide you would like one
