Targeted 'second-look' ultrasound finds additional, smaller lesions
By Kate Madden Yee
Tuesday, November 30 | 3:40 p.m.-3:50 p.m. | SSJ02-05 | Room E450AUsing ultrasound to take a second look at women with breast cancer who have already undergone mammography and an initial ultrasound can help find additional, smaller malignant lesions, but many of these belong to lower-risk BI-RADS categories, according to researchers from Hospital Universitario 12 de Octubre in Madrid.
