Excerpt

Women diagnosed with breast cancer are at increased risk of contralateral breast cancer; some of these cancers will be synchronous and mammographically occult (M1). Ultrasound may detect M1 breast cancers but also benign lesions that necessitate needle testing, conferring additional patient morbidity that could be termed 'over investigation'. Local guidelines for ultrasound of the M1 contralateral breast vary between units. We present a retrospective audit of contralateral M1 breast ultrasound within our screening assessment clinics. …
