Effectiveness of hybrid digital breast tomosynthesis/digital mammography compared to digital mammography in women presenting for routine screening at Maroondah BreastScreen: Study protocol for a co-designed, non-randomised prospective trial – Nehmat Houssami et al.

Digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) for breast cancer screening has been shown in international trials to increase cancer detection compared with mammography; however, results have varied across screening settings, and currently there is limited and conflicting evidence on interval cancer rates (a surrogate for screening effectiveness).

Randomized Trial of Information for Older Women About Cessation of Breast Cancer Screening Invitations – Jenna Smith et al.

Lucia Marcello2024-04-07T15:44:27+10:00Ageing, Breast cancer, Cancer, Decision aids, Health literacy, Overdiagnosis, Publications, Screening, Shared decision making, Women's health|

Older women receive no information about why Australia’s breast screening program (BreastScreen) invitations cease after 74 years. We tested how providing older women with the rationale for breast screening cessation impacted informed choice (adequate knowledge; screening attitudes aligned with intention).

Health benefits and harms of mammography screening in older women (75+ years)—a systematic review – Erin Mathieu et al.

Lucia Marcello2024-04-07T15:40:26+10:00Ageing, Breast cancer, Cancer, Overdiagnosis, Overtesting, Publications, Screening, Women's health|

There is little evidence on the balance between potential benefits and harms of mammography screening in women 75 years and older. The aim of this systematic review was to synthesise the evidence on the outcomes of mammography screening in women aged 75 years and older.

Characteristics and post-metastasis survival of recurrent metastatic breast cancer over time – An Australian population-based record linkage study, 2001–2016 – Sarah J. Lord et al.

Lucia Marcello2024-02-13T13:11:34+11:00Breast cancer, Cancer, Publications, Screening, Treatment|

Breast cancer (BC) mortality has declined over the past 30 years, reflecting improved screening, diagnosis and treatment. Over this period, the proportion of people with de novo metastatic BC (dnMBC) has remained relatively stable at approximately 6% of new BC, with cancer registries reporting incremental [...]

Decline in the incidence of distant recurrence of breast cancer: A population-based health record linkage study, Australia 2001-2016 – Sarah J Lord et al.

Lucia Marcello2023-12-04T14:19:11+11:00Breast cancer, Cancer, Publications, Treatment, Women's health|

We investigated differences in cumulative incidence of first distant recurrence following non-metastatic breast cancer over a time period when new adjuvant therapies became available in Australia. We conducted a health record linkage study of females with localized (T1-3N0) or regional (T4 or N+) breast cancer [...]

Health benefits and harms of mammography screening in older women (75+ years)-a systematic review – Erin Mathieu et al.

Lucia Marcello2023-12-04T13:33:17+11:00Ageing, Breast cancer, Cancer, Overdiagnosis, Publications, Screening, Women's health|

There is little evidence on the balance between potential benefits and harms of mammography screening in women 75 years and older. The aim of this systematic review was to synthesise the evidence on the outcomes of mammography screening in women aged 75 years and older. [...]

Preoperative breast MRI positively impacts surgical outcomes of needle biopsy-diagnosed pure DCIS: a patient-matched analysis from the MIPA study – Andrea Cozzi et al.

Lucia Marcello2023-12-04T13:02:27+11:00Breast cancer, Cancer, Imaging, Publications, Surgery, Women's health|

Objectives: To investigate the influence of preoperative breast MRI on mastectomy and reoperation rates in patients with pure ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS). The MIPA observational study database (7245 patients) was searched for patients aged 18-80 years with pure unilateral DCIS diagnosed at core needle or [...]

Artificial Intelligence-Driven Mammography-Based Future Breast Cancer Risk Prediction: A Systematic Review – Cody M. Schopf et al.

Lucia Marcello2023-12-01T15:22:04+11:00AI, Breast cancer, Cancer, Imaging, Publications, Risk, Screening|

The purpose of this study is to summarize the literature regarding the performance of mammography-image based artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms, with and without additional clinical data, for future breast cancer risk prediction.

Screening for cancer beyond recommended upper age limits: views and experiences of older people – Jenna Smith et al.

Lucia Marcello2023-12-01T15:18:47+11:00Ageing, Bowel cancer, Breast cancer, Cancer, Cervical Cancer, Overdiagnosis, Prostate cancer, Publications|

Internationally, screening programmes and clinical practice guidelines recommend when older adults should stop cancer screening using upper age limits, but it is unknown how older adults view these recommendations. The obective of this study is to examine older adults’ views and experiences about continuing or [...]

Does mammographic density predict survival in women with invasive breast cancer? The need to account for potential confounding from cancer stage and overdiagnosis – Katie J Bell & Meagan Brennan

Lucia Marcello2023-12-01T12:05:02+11:00Breast cancer, Breast density, Cancer, Publications, Risk, Screening, Treatment|

High breast density on mammography is a well-established risk factor for a breast cancer diagnosis. There is interest in whether breast density might also predict how aggressive a breast cancer is, including the likelihood of causing death. If mammographic features at the time of cancer [...]
