Authors’ Reply Comments: Evaluation of the accuracy of mammography ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging in suspect breast lesions

摘要

Breast cancer is the most common cancer among the female population worldwide (1). In Brazil, a developing country, breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women after non-melanoma skin cancer (2). The success of breast cancer treatment depends on early diagnosis and treatment, which has an influence on the overall survival, regardless of the advancements in therapy (3,4). The main imaging procedures that usually lead to the early detection of breast cancer are mammography, ultrasonography, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). However, mammography remains the standard examination tool in the systematic screening of breast cancer (3).
