Journal ArticleDOI
Mammographic Density and the Risk and Detection of Breast Cancer
Norman F. Boyd,Helen Guo,Lisa J. Martin,Limei Sun,Jennifer Stone,Eve Fishell,Roberta A. Jong,Greg Hislop,Anna M. Chiarelli,Salomon Minkin,Martin J. Yaffe +10 more
TL;DR: Extensive mammographic density is strongly associated with the risk of breast cancer detected by screening or between screening tests, and a substantial fraction of breast cancers can be attributed to this risk factor.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diagnostic Performance of Digital versus Film Mammography for Breast-Cancer Screening
Etta D. Pisano,Constantine Gatsonis,Edward Hendrick,Martin J. Yaffe,Janet K. Baum,Suddhasatta Acharyya,Emily F. Conant,Laurie L. Fajardo,Lawrence W. Bassett,Roberta A. Jong,Murray Rebner +10 more
TL;DR: The overall diagnostic accuracy of digital and film mammography as a means of screening for breast cancer is similar, but digital mammography is more accurate in women under the age of 50 years, women with radiographically dense breasts, and premenopausal or perimenopausal women.
Journal ArticleDOI
Combined screening with ultrasound and mammography vs mammography alone in women at elevated risk of breast cancer.
Wendie A. Berg,Jeffrey D. Blume,Jean B. Cormack,Ellen B. Mendelson,Daniel Lehrer,M. Böhm-Vélez,Etta D. Pisano,Roberta A. Jong,W. Phil Evans,Marilyn J. Morton,Mary C. Mahoney,Linda Hovanessian Larsen,Richard G. Barr,Dione M. Farria,Helga S. Marques,Karan Boparai +15 more
TL;DR: The diagnostic yield, sensitivity, specificity, and diagnostic accuracy (assessed by the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve) of combined mammography plus ultrasound vs mammography alone and the positive predictive value of biopsy recommendations for mammographyplus ultrasound vs Mammography alone are compared.
Journal ArticleDOI
Surveillance of BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers with magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound, mammography, and clinical breast examination.
Ellen Warner,Donald B. Plewes,Kimberley Hill,Petrina A. Causer,Judit Zubovits,Roberta A. Jong,Margaret R. Cutrara,Gerrit DeBoer,Martin J. Yaffe,Sandra J. Messner,Wendy S. Meschino,Cameron Piron,Steven A. Narod +12 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the sensitivity and specificity of four methods of breast cancer surveillance (mammography, ultrasound, MRI, and CBE) in women with hereditary susceptibility to breast cancer due to a BRCA1 or BRCa2 mutation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detection of Breast Cancer With Addition of Annual Screening Ultrasound or a Single Screening MRI to Mammography in Women With Elevated Breast Cancer Risk
Wendie A. Berg,Zheng Zhang,Daniel Lehrer,Roberta A. Jong,Etta D. Pisano,Etta D. Pisano,Richard G. Barr,M. Böhm-Vélez,Mary C. Mahoney,W. Phil Evans,Linda Hovanessian Larsen,Marilyn J. Morton,Ellen B. Mendelson,Dione M. Farria,Jean B. Cormack,Helga S. Marques,Amanda M. Adams,Nolin M. Yeh,Glenna J. Gabrielli +18 more
TL;DR: The addition of screening ultrasound or MRI to mammography in women at increased risk of breast cancer resulted in not only a higher cancer detection yield but also an increase in false-positive findings.
