Dr. Yang and her collegues, studied 23 women who were diagnosed with breast cancer while pregnant. They found that ultrasound detected breast cancers in all of the women who had it, while mammography detected 90 percent of the cancers.
Cancer of the breast can be very difficult to detect during pregnency, and ultrasound is now proving to be a great help for detection and the action of the chemotherapy, she stated.
