Also, because of China’s women’s breast tissue density as high as the general absence of women in the West, the combination of B-ultrasound can further ensure the accuracy of early diagnosis of breast cancer. And because breast mammography for young women have a certain injury, young women under the age of 35, should be the preferred B-. However, it is worth recalling that early diagnosis has always been in the field of oncology, “Sherlock Holmes,” said PET sensitivity of breast cancer is not high, coupled with expensive, for the early diagnosis of breast cancer is largely meaningless.
