The members of the European Group for Breast Cancer Screening have considered the use of ultrasound in breast diagnosis and breast cancer screening. After wide consultation and a detailed literature review, the consensus of the Group on the role of ultrasound is as follows: current evidence indicates that ultrasound of the breast is an important adjunct to mammography and clinical examination in the further assessment of both palpable and impalpable breast abnormalities. However, the use of ultrasound in population screening of asymptomatic women is associated with unacceptably high rates of both false positive and false negative outcomes. At present there is little evidence to support the use of ultrasound in population breast cancer screening at any age.
欧洲乳腺癌筛查组织的成员已对超声在乳腺诊断和乳腺癌筛查中的应用进行了考量。经过广泛咨询和详细的文献综述，该组织对超声作用的共识如下：目前的证据表明，在对可触及和不可触及的乳腺异常进行进一步评估时，乳腺超声是乳腺X线摄影和临床检查的重要辅助手段。然而，在无症状女性群体筛查中使用超声会导致过高的假阳性和假阴性结果，令人难以接受。目前几乎没有证据支持在任何年龄段的人群乳腺癌筛查中使用超声。
