Towards Refining Breast Cancer Diagnosis on Ultrasound.

Breast cancer (BC) is the most common malignant neoplasm in the world regardless of gender (with 2,261,419 cases registered in 2020, representing 11.7% of all cases) and it is characterized by a high mortality rate (6.9% – 684,996 cases)(1). Therefore, any action aimed at improving the effectiveness of screening and diagnosis of this cancer, especially with the application of minimally invasive, safe, and accessible methods such as ultrasonography (US), contributes to the reduction of both statistics. The use of US for screening and diagnosis can take place in a variety of situations, from strategic application in specialized breast centers to remote medicine settings(2,3).
