Dear Abdulgadir

Mammography still the cornerstone of breast cancer prevention efforts and early detection. According to data from Randomized controlled trials it reduces the breast cancer mortality in women of age 40-75 .It is widely available, well-tolerated and inexpensive.

Ultrasound can be used to complement mammography to tell the difference between fluid-filled cysts and solid masses.

Additionally,  MRI scan has been found to be highly sensitive (approximating 99% when combined with mammography and clinical breast examination CBE particularly to detect malignant changes in breast

Many thanks Dr. Mohammed 

1. Postmenopausal women; undoubtedly mammogram with complementary sonogram is great.

2. However, premenopausal lady with dense breasts, sonography is much more reliable method.

3. In high risk/ BRCA positive ladies, MRI can detection may the best option. however, MRI has high rate of false positive!.

Many thanks Dr. Tarang
