\"cancer<\/a>If a woman complains of breast pain, finds a lump or has nipple discharge, it is important to check whether there is a breast condition. In most cases, the condition is benign. The prognosis is therefore not life-threatening. On the other hand, it can sometimes be malignant and therefore cancerous. That’s why it’s important to have regular check-ups. How is breast disease diagnosed? Can breast cancer be detected by ultrasound alone? What are the benefits of this test? PRS Healthcare now answers these questions.<\/span><\/p>\n

How many cases of breast cancer will there be in 2023?\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

According to the French National Cancer Institute<\/a>, there will be 61,214 new cases of breast cancer in France this year. In 2019<\/a>, there were 59,000 cases. Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women. However, thanks to early detection and appropriate treatment, the mortality rate has fallen in recent years.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How is breast disease classically diagnosed?\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Diagnosing breast disease usually involves two tests. The first is called digital tomosynthesis. This produces an overall image of both breasts. The healthcare professional will then perform a targeted breast ultrasound<\/a>. This is much more precise and focuses on a more specific area of the breast.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Can ultrasound alone detect breast cancer?\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

The study\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

To fill the gap in medical imaging<\/a>, researchers wanted to show that ultrasound alone could be enough to diagnose breast disease. To do this, they conducted a study<\/a> of women over the age of 30 who had symptoms of breast cancer. Radiologists first analysed the ultrasound scans. None of them had access to tomosynthesis.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The results\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Ultrasound gave an accurate diagnosis in 90% of patients. What’s more, 80% of the lesions were found to be benign. Overall, this study attempts to prove that ultrasound provides a reliable and accurate diagnosis. Tomosynthesis is therefore not necessarily necessary to detect breast cancer or other breast diseases.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why ultrasound works\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Ultrasound is more accessible. This is not necessarily the case with tomosynthesis. In fact, most regions with limited resources do not have it. What’s more, it’s a painless examination, unlike tomosynthesis, which some patients may find painful.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

However, ultrasound probes need to be checked regularly. That’s why we offer a fleet audit service<\/a>. It’s important that the probes are not faulty. This will ensure that you get a good diagnosis!
