TLDR
As recall rates increased, sensitivity increased very little beyond a recall rate of 4.8%, and positive predictive value began decreasing significantly at a recall rates of 5.9%.Abstract:
OBJECTIVE. The performance of screening mammography is measured mainly by its sensitivity, positive predictive value, and cancer detection rate. Recall rates are also suggested as a surrogate measure. The main objective of this study was to measure the effect on sensitivity and positive predictive value as recall rates increase in the community practice of mammography.MATERIALS AND METHODS. Mammography and pathology data are linked in the Carolina Mammography Registry, a population-based registry of screening mammography. Our mammography database is created from prospectively collected data from mammography facilities; the data include information on the woman and the imaging studies. Our pathology database is created from prospectively collected breast pathology data received from pathology sites and the Central Cancer Registry. Women in the registry who were 40 years old and older and who underwent screening mammography between January 1994 and June 1998 were included. “Recall rate” was defined as the p...read more

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.

Using sonography to screen women with mammographically dense breasts.
TL;DR: Screening breast sonography in the population of women with dense breast tissue is useful in detecting small breast cancers that are not detected on mammography or clinical breast examination.

TL;DR: Recall and negative open surgical biopsy rates are twice as high in US settings than in the United Kingdom but cancer detection rates are similar; efforts to improve US mammographic screening should target lowering the recall rate without reducing the cancer detection rate.

TL;DR: The introduction of computer-aided detection into this practice was not associated with statistically significant changes in recall and breast cancer detection rates, both for the entire group of radiologist and for the subset of radiologists who interpreted high volumes of mammograms.

TL;DR: Screening mammography may be effective in reducing breast cancer mortality in women aged 40 to 49 years after 10 to 12 years of follow-up, but the same benefit could probably be achieved by beginning screening at menopause or 50 years of age.

Effect of Age, Breast Density, and Family History on the Sensitivity of First Screening Mammography
TL;DR: The sensitivity of modern mammography is highest among women aged 50 years and older who have primarily fatty breast density and particularly low when the time between screenings is about 2 years or when women have a family history of breast cancer.
