Can anyone tell me whether an ultrasound is superior to mammography in screening for breast cancer?
It makes perfect sense to me that the ultrasound would provide better results (and I hate mammograms). My physician says first the mammogram and then, if required, the ultrasound.
I am going to request that we go straight to the ultrasound.
Does anyone know why mammograms are done if ultrasound examination is more sensitive?
