TLDR
Addition of tomosynthesis to digital mammography offers the dual benefit of significantly increased diagnostic accuracy and significantly reduced recall rates for noncancer cases.Abstract:
The addition of tomosynthesis to digital mammography offers the dual benefit of improved diagnostic accuracy and significant reduction in false-positive recall rate, thereby avoiding unnecessary additional testing and decreasing attendant anxiety, inconvenience, and cost for women.read more

TL;DR: Digital breast tomosynthesis is a currently assessed 3D imaging technique in which angular projections of the stationary compressed breast are acquired automatically and it facilitates the detection and characterization of breast lesions, as well as the diagnosis of occult lesions in dense breasts.

Impact of Advancing Technology on Diagnosis and Treatment of Breast Cancer.
TL;DR: Diffusion-weighted imaging is a functional MRI technique that does not require contrast and has shown potential in screening, lesion characterization and also evaluation of treatment response.

Paradigm shift in the local treatment of breast cancer: mastectomy to breast conservation surgery
TL;DR: The increasingly pivotal role that neoadjuvant chemotherapy may play, in the local treatment of EBC and locally advanced breast cancer (LABC) and the long-term surgical and oncological outcomes is discussed.

How Well Does Supplemental Screening Magnetic Resonance Imaging Work in High-Risk Women?
TL;DR: One of the first challenges to be overcome by Chiarelli et al in the Ontario Breast Screening Program (OBSP) was that of assessing the family history and other risk factors of women who might be eligible for high-risk screening and performing genetic assessment as appropriate.

TL;DR: Malignant masses are more conspicuous on CEbCT than DM or DBT or DM, and malignant microcalcifications are equally conspicuous on all three modalities.

Screening for Lung Cancer: U.S. Preventive Services Task Force Recommendation Statement
TL;DR: Although lung cancer screening is not an alternative to smoking cessation, the USPSTF found adequate evidence that annual screening for lung cancer with LDCT in a defined population of high-risk persons can prevent a substantial number of lung cancerrelated deaths.

TL;DR: 7 years after the start of the study the excess of stage I cancers in the study group largely outweighs the deficit of advanced cancers, and the results to the end of 1984 show a 31% reduction in mortality from breast cancer and a 25% reduced in the rate of stage II or more advanced breast cancers.

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.

TL;DR: The USPSTF concludes that the current evidence is insufficient to assess additional benefits and harms of either digital mammography or magnetic resonance imaging instead of film mammography as screening modalities for breast cancer.

TL;DR: The accuracy of screening mammography is best in older women and in women with fatty breasts, and the individual and combined effects of age, breast density, and HRT use on mammographic accuracy are examined.
