Beyond mammography: Superior performance of ultrasound in early-onset breast cancer implications for age-specific, density-tailored screening

Ultrasound is more effective than mammography for early detection in Saudi women under 50 years old, while MRI remains highly accurate across all age groups. National screening guidelines should adopt biennial ultrasound-first screening starting at age 40, with MRI reserved for high-risk cases and BI-RADS 3-4 lesions.

Abstract

Ultrasound is more effective than mammography for early detection in Saudi women under 50 years old, while MRI remains highly accurate across all age groups. National screening guidelines should adopt biennial ultrasound-first screening starting at age 40, with MRI reserved for high-risk cases and BI-RADS 3-4 lesions.
