We read with great interest the recent meta- analysis written by Rebolj and colleagues,1 which assessed the effect of supplementary ultrasound to mammography in screening women with dense
breast tissue on the detection of breast cancer. The authors concluded that supplementary ultrasound screening would be beneficial to increase the sensitivity of breast cancer detection. We
appreciate the authors’ thorough analysis, which is a clinically valuable study. However, we have some concerns about the strength of their conclusion owing to some important limitations of
the findings in this review.
