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

Identifying women with dense breasts at high risk for interval cancer: a cohort study.

TL;DR: In this paper, a cohort study sought to better direct supplemental imaging discussions by deterministic deterministic analysis of mammography data and showed that high breast density increases breast cancer risk and can mask tumors, decreasing the sensitivity of mammograms.

Review of radiation dose estimates in digital breast tomosynthesis relative to those in two-view full-field digital mammography.
TL;DR: How radiation dose levels in digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) differ from those used in 2-view full-field digital mammography (FFDM) is examined, with substantial implications for population screening programs.

Effectiveness of Digital Breast Tomosynthesis Compared With Digital Mammography: Outcomes Analysis From 3 Years of Breast Cancer Screening
Elizabeth S. McDonald,Andrew Oustimov,Susan P. Weinstein,Marie Synnestvedt,Mitchell D. Schnall,Emily F. Conant +5 more
TL;DR: Digital breast tomosynthesis screening outcomes are sustainable, with significant recall reduction, increasing cancer cases per recalled patients, and a decline in interval cancers.

Screening Outcomes Following Implementation of Digital Breast Tomosynthesis in a General-Population Screening Program
Anne Marie McCarthy,Despina Kontos,Marie Synnestvedt,Kay See Tan,Daniel F. Heitjan,Mitchell Schnall,Emily F. Conant +6 more
TL;DR: The data support the clinical implementation of DBT in breast cancer screening; however, larger prospective trials are needed to validate the findings in specific patient subgroups.
Journal ArticleDOI
Digital Breast Tomosynthesis: State of the Art.
TL;DR: The observations of increase in cancer detection rates, particularly for invasive cancers, and the reduction in false-positive rates with DBT in prospective trials indicate its benefit for breast cancer screening.

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.
