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

Diagnostic radiation dose after the implementation of digital breast tomosynthesis screening
TL;DR: While the AGD for calcifications remained the same after the transition, a dose increase of 23% was found due to the addition of 3D imaging for the other findings, resulting in a net increase of only 4.0% in the total radiation dose to the screening population arising from diagnostic imaging at recall.

Can Tomosynthesis Replace 2D Mammography as a Future Breast Screening Tool
TL;DR: This review evaluates the possibility for 2D plus tomosynthesis mammography to replace conventional 2D screening, outlines the requirements of an effective screening modality, reviews early and recent literature on performance outcomes, including results by age and density, and highlights potential challenges.

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.
