SonoCiné: The Next Step in Early Breast Cancer Detection
 

This site contains information about SonoCiné, a new investigational ultrasound breast cancer detection method that may be able to find cancers that mammograms and conventional ultrasound exams may miss.

In the first clinical study comparing SonoCiné and mammography, 20 cancers were found. SonoCiné detected 18 of these breast cancers and mammography detected 15. Since this first study, SonoCiné has discovered 7 additional cancers missed by physical exam and/or mammography. Furthermore, traditional ultrasound produces only 30 permanent images of the breast compared to 2,000 to 5,000 permanent images produced by SonoCiné. As many as half of all potentially visible cancers, in women with dense breasts, may not be seen with conventional mammography.

 


"SonoCiné detected two malignant tumors, one in each breast of my patient B.G., that were missed by the mammogram she'd had only two months earlier. She immediately underwent surgery and today is cancer free. SonoCiné probably saved her life. SonoCiné is breakthrough investigational technology for early breast cancer detection."

--David M. Faddis, MD, Oncological Surgeon, Immediate Past President of the Medical Staff at Huntington Memorial Hospital, Pasadena, CA
