“…When differentiation between benign and malignant masses is difficult, fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) or core-needle biopsy (CNB) can be performed under US guidance. Takahashi et al [3] reported that in clinical cases, the sensitivity of breast cancer detection by MMG was 92.9%, while Koike et al [4] reported it was 64.6%. There are reports that US is better in detection of breast cancer if the patient is young or the masses are small [5][6][7].…”

Ultrasound screening of breast cancer

Ultrasound (US) screening of breast cancer was surveyed with the results of breast screening combined with mammography (MMG), US and clinical breast examination (CBE) at Ibaraki Health Service Association. Breast cancer is common among women in their late 40s in Japan, who tend to have small and dense breasts. Our results showed that US works as well as MMG in detecting breast cancers in women in their 40s, and both modalities are compensatory. There are many reports that the combination of MMG and US is a suitable method for breast screening in Japan. A large-scale randomized control trial is now ongoing to investigate whether breast screening by both MMG and US is useful to decrease breast cancer mortality.
