Defining clinicopathological and radiological features of breast cancer in women under the age of 35: an epidemiological study

ConclusionFemales under 35 tend to be diagnosed with aggressive, advanced stage tumours. Ultrasound remains the radiological test of choice, although diagnosis using mammography demonstrated a relatively high sensitivity compared with previous reports. This study emphasises the varying epidemiology of breast cancer in younger patients and the potential role of mammography in making radiological diagnosis in those who are symptomatic.
