This blog posting has a very nice review of the benefits of whole breast ultrasound in the woman with dense tissue. Now, New York has been added to the list of states requiring the mammogram facility to tell you if you have dense breast tissue. Connecticut, Texas and Virginia round out the list with ongoing action in many other states.
Mammograms my miss cancers in dense breasts 60% of the time. And those are the very breasts that have 4-6x more cancers. Note references in the WSJ blog.
I reviewed the issue in several blogs but offer http://drwinsett.blogspot.com/2012/01/more-about-whole-breast-ultrasound-and.html for a review of the science behind the recommendation for the breast ultrasound.
Briefly whole breast ultrasounds (sonograms):
- find breast cancers not visible on mammograms
- the numbers are 3-4 per 1000
- most are very early stages
- don't require an IV, contrast agent or sedation
- can be performed in less than 15 minutes
- are reliable
- cost far less than an MRI
See why I believe the whole breast ultrasound is the answer when you have been told that you have dense breast tissue?
Together we can prevent 75,000 breast cancer cases each year!
