ABUS plus mammography finds cancer early in women with dense tissue
By Kate Madden Yee
Sunday, November 25 | 11:05 a.m.-11:15 a.m. | SSA01-03 | Arie Crown TheaterScreening with automated breast ultrasound (ABUS) -- as an adjunct to digital mammography -- detects early-stage, node-negative invasive carcinoma in asymptomatic women with dense breast tissue, according to researchers from George Washington University Medical Center. And finding these cancers could reduce breast cancer mortality rates.
