Factors associated with women’s supplemental screening intentions following dense breast notification in an online randomised experimental study – Brooke Nickel et al

Thomas Dakin2022-09-14T12:16:24+10:00Breast cancer, Breast density, Cancer, Publications, Screening|

Controversy surrounding recommendations for supplemental screening (ultrasound and magnetic resonance screening) in women with dense breasts exists, as the long-term benefits from these additional modalities may not outweigh the harms. This study aimed to examine factors associated with supplemental screening intentions following a hypothetical breast [...]

Prevalence of Subclinical Papillary Thyroid Cancer by Age: Meta-analysis of Autopsy Studies – Natalia Arroyo et al

Thomas Dakin2022-09-07T16:09:39+10:00Cancer, Publications, Thyroid cancer|

It is not known how underlying subclinical papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) differs by age. This meta-analysis of autopsy studies investigates how subclinical PTC prevalence changes over the lifetime.

Overdiagnosis of invasive breast cancer in population-based breast cancer screening: A short- and long-term perspective – Lilu Ding et al

Thomas Dakin2023-01-11T15:36:20+11:00Breast cancer, Cancer, Overdiagnosis, Publications|

Sufficient follow-up time (≥10 years) after screening stops is key to obtaining unbiased estimates of overdiagnosis. Overdiagnosis of invasive BC is a larger problem in older compared to younger women.

Melanoma overdiagnosis: why it matters and what can be done about it – Katy Bell & Tamar Nijsten

Thomas Dakin2022-09-07T15:36:33+10:00Cancer, Melanoma, Overdiagnosis, Publications|

Cancer screening aims to reduce morbidity and mortality through early detection of preclinical disease. These potential benefits must be weighed against potential harms from diagnostic procedures, induced anxiety, false-positive or false-negative results and the detection of ‘indolent’ cancers, otherwise known as overdiagnosis.

Long term risk of distant metastasis in women with non-metastatic breast cancer and survival after metastasis detection: a population-based linked health records study – Sarah Lord et al

Thomas Dakin2022-09-07T15:33:21+10:00Breast cancer, Publications|

To estimate the long term risk of distant metastases (DM) for women with initial diagnoses of non-metastatic breast cancer; to estimate breast cancer-specific and overall survival for women with DM.

Australian General Practitioners’ Current Knowledge, Understanding, and Feelings Regarding Breast Density Information and Notification: A Cross-Sectional Study – Hankiz Dolan et al

Thomas Dakin2022-09-07T14:39:53+10:00Breast density, Publications|

There is a lack of evidence around Australian general practitioners’ (GPs) views of issues surrounding breast density. The current study aimed to quantitatively assess GPs’ current knowledge, understanding, and feelings around breast density information and notification. This study involved a cross-sectional survey using an online [...]

Assessment of screen-recalled abnormalities for digital breast tomosynthesis versus digital mammography screening in the BreastScreen Maroondah trial – Tong Li et al.

Thomas Dakin2022-07-11T17:00:44+10:00Breast cancer, Publications|

Australia's first population-based pilot trial comparing digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) and digital mammography (DM) screening reported detection measures in 2019. This study describes the trial's secondary outcomes pertaining to the assessment process in women screened with DBT or DM, including the type of recalled abnormalities [...]
