Breast Cancer Screening in Pregnant and Lactating Patients: A Practical Approach
Listen to this summary
The authors aim to address the challenges and considerations surrounding breast cancer screening in pregnant and lactating patients, particularly in light of increased incidence and the impact of physiological changes on imaging results. They review current guidelines and the effectiveness of various imaging modalities, such as mammography, ultrasound, and MRI, while emphasizing the importance of balancing diagnostic accuracy with maternal and fetal safety. The paper also discusses strategies for identifying high-risk patients and effectively communicating the risks and benefits of screening to both patients and healthcare providers.
