Any form of cancer, breast cancer included, has the distinct and highly dangerous ability to hide. In other words treatment may well be beating out the cancer but it won’t necessarily eradicate all of it. It appears as if though mammography performed in 3D may be the solution to this particular issue.
In a study of over 500,000 mammograms, a fraction done in 3D, it was discovered that 3d scanning may be able to spot more than a regular scan. While it’s unnerving to think that the cancer is so powerful it’s good to know that there are ways to figure out how much of it there really is and the dangers it presents.

This is pretty cool technology. If it works the way it should it really could help save people. I hope this can be developed enough soon to be used in hospitals. It will be interesting to see if it will make a difference.
