Ultrasound is a useful adjunct to mammography in the assessment of breast tumours in all patients
International Journal of Clinical Practice, 10/12/09

McCavert M et al. – Mammography appeared to be more sensitive in patients over 50 years compared with those patients under 50 years. The sensitivity of ultrasound was comparable between patients above and below the age of 50 years. Further subgroup analysis demonstrated a higher sensitivity with combined mammography and ultrasound compared with mammography alone in either patient group. These results also suggested that the difference in the sensitivities of mammography vs. the combined investigation approach was more marked in patients under 50 years of age. Adjunctive ultrasound assessment improves breast cancer detection in women of all ages and should be routinely used in symptomatic breast clinics.
