Improving breast cancer detection using ultrasonography in asymptomatic women with non-fatty breast density.

CONCLUSION: Use of US adjunct to MX for detection of breast cancer in asymptomatic non-fatty, average-risk women for detection of breast cancer is a promising diagnostic procedure. A significant benefit was documented, in particular, in women aged 40-59 years old, and in women with D4 breast density. PMID: 24103915 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
