Although digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) improves breast cancer screen-detection compared to digital mammography (DM), there is less evidence on comparative screening outcomes by age and breast density, and inconsistent evidence on its effect on recall rate.
To determine screening outcomes in women who have no recorded risk factors for breast cancer.
The aim of this study was to describe the current state of science regarding independent external validation of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies for screening mammography.
Conflicting breast cancer screening recommendations have the potential to diminish informed decision making about screening. We examined the knowledge, attitudes, and intentions related to divergent recommendations for breast cancer screening among racially/ethnically diverse women.
Artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms for interpreting mammograms have the potential to improve the effectiveness of population breast cancer screening programmes if they can detect cancers, including interval cancers, without contributing substantially to overdiagnosis. Studies suggesting that AI has comparable or greater accuracy than radiologists commonly [...]
Population-based mammographic screening programmes aim to reduce breast cancer mortality through early detection of the disease. Contemporary screening programmes increasingly value women’s autonomy and endorse the notion that women ought to be supported in making an informed choice whether to participate. To this end, the [...]
Breast cancer (BC) is the most common cancer in women. A study of the temporal trends (1998–2012) in the age-standardised incidence rate in 41 countries showed that increased BC incidence rates had occurred in pre- and post-menopausal women. However, increases exclusively in premenopausal ages were [...]
In patients newly diagnosed with breast cancer, the routine use of breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) before surgery is a controversial topic, attracting extensive debate and little consensus. Proponents reasonably draw on the established evidence of MRI sensitivity to detect additional disease, allowing more tailored [...]
This study aimed to explore Australian women’s current knowledge, perspectives and attitudes about breast density (BD); and information needs to inform effective evidence-based communication strategies. The potential of being informed and notified of BD is found to be of interest and importance to Australian women [...]
