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

2022-09-14T12:16:24+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 [...]

Clinicians’ perspectives on gestational diabetes screening during the global COVID-19 pandemic in Australia – Nina Meloncelli et al

2024-02-11T15:19:47+11:00COVID-19, Diabetes, Publications, Screening|

There is no international consensus for the screening and diagnosis of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). In March 2020, modified screening and diagnostic recommendations were rapidly implemented in Queensland, Australia, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The aim of this study was to understand clinicians' perceptions [...]

An individual participant data meta-analysis of breast cancer detection and recall rates for digital breast tomosynthesis versus digital mammography population screening – Sol Libesman et al.

2022-03-11T12:11:17+11:00Breast cancer, Cancer, Publications, Screening|

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.

Psychosocial impact of testing human papillomavirus positive in Australia’s human papillomavirus-based cervical screening program: A cross-sectional survey – Verity Chadwick et al.

2022-03-10T16:00:03+11:00Cancer, Cervical Cancer, HPV, Publications, Screening|

To examine the impact of self-reported human papillomavirus (HPV) test result (HPV negative, HPV positive, HPV result unknown) on a range of psychosocial outcomes.  Women and other people with a cervix in Australia aged 25–74 years who reported having participated in cervical screening since December [...]

Perceptions of Conflicting Breast Cancer Screening Recommendations Among Racially/Ethnically Diverse Women: a Multimethod Study – Ashley Housten et al.

2022-03-10T15:19:43+11:00Breast cancer, Cancer, Publications, Screening|

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.

The Effect of Supplemental Imaging on Interval Cancer Rates in Mammography Screening: Systematic Review – Aileen Zeng et al.

2022-02-24T16:41:26+11:00Cancer, Publications, Screening|

Supplemental screening with MRI or ultrasound increases cancer detection rate (CDR) in women with standard screening mammography. Whether it also reduces interval cancer rate (ICR) is unclear. This study reviewed the evidence evaluating the effect of supplemental imaging on ICR in women undergoing screening mammography.

Patient-Reported Factors Associated With Older Adults’ Cancer Screening Decision-making: A Systematic Review – Jenna Smith et al.

2023-01-18T14:10:19+11:00Ageing, Cancer, Publications, Screening|

This systematic review of 21 studies identified that positive screening attitudes and gaining knowledge and reassurance were associated with the decision to undergo screening, whereas negative screening attitudes and not wanting to know whether one has cancer were associated with the decision to forgo screening. [...]

Artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance breast cancer screening: protocol for population-based cohort study of cancer detection – M Luke Marinovich et al.

2022-02-24T16:12:41+11:00Breast cancer, Cancer, Publications, Screening|

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 [...]
