Young women diagnosed with breast cancer within three years of childbirth may face more aggressive disease, UCLA study finds

Portable ultrasound system could make reliable breast imaging more accessible, MIT study finds

For people at high risk of developing breast cancer, yearly mammograms may not be enough to detect tumors early. To make earlier diagnosis easier, a Massachusetts Institute of Technology team has developed portable detectors based on ultrasound, which could be used much more frequently. The team reports that they have improved the resolution of the images produced by their system, making it easier to spot potential tumors, as well as cysts and microcalcifications.
