Evaluation of Screening Whole‐Breast Sonography as a Supplemental Tool in Conjunction With Mammography in Women With Dense Breasts

Abstract

Supplemental screening whole-breast sonography increases the cancer detection yield by 2.391 cancers per 1000 women with dense breast tissue over that of mammography alone. It is beneficial for increased detection of breast cancers that are predominantly small and node negative; however, it also raises the number of false-positive results.
