Breast Cancer Associated with Pregnancy – Diagnostic methods
Keywords:
Breast cancer, Pregnancy, Complementary diagnosisAbstract
Diagnosis of breast cancer during pregnancy can be delayed and due to a large extent as a consequence
of turgid and puffed breast parenquima, making clinical examination difficult. Heterogeneous increase
in breast density during this period is a limitation for mammography. There are restrictions for the use of
Magnetic Resonance ofthe breast during pregnancy. Breast sonography is the complementary method of
choice for differential diagnosis.
