美國mammogram有兩個臨床指南,家醫從50歲開始,兩年一次。 婦科40歲開始, 一年一次,原則上75歲停止。
所以跟家醫一輩子做13次, 婦科35次。
亞裔乳腺組織密度太高的人很多, B超對密度高的組織有效,美國很多州要求醫師告訴病人密度高的問題, 家醫和婦科醫師因此常常同時order鉬靶和乳超,
但放射科醫師做screen全乳腺B超, 沒有updated mammogram一般不出報告, 因為隻做B超沒有指南。
我們這裏做mammogram後超過半年時(10到11個月)做全乳腺B超沒問題。。。 所以可以大約一年mammogram, 一年B超。 完全符合所有指南。 所有醫師都高興
夠複雜的吧:)))

The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force [DRAFT]
50 to 74 years: Biennial screening (B recommendation)*
Prior to age 50 years: The decision to start screening mammography should be an individual one. Women who place a higher value on the potential benefit than the potential harms may choose to begin biennial screening between the ages of 40 and 49 years. (C recommendation)*
[NEW] Women with a parent, sibling, or child with breast cancer may benefit more than average-risk women from beginning screening between the ages of 40 and 49 years
75 years of age and older: The current evidence is insufficient to assess the effectiveness of screening mammography in women (I statement)*
