Breast Cancer Screening Using Tomosynthesis in Combination With Digital Mammography

TLDR
Addition of tomosynthesis to digital mammography was associated with a decrease in recall rate and an increase in cancer detection rate, and further studies are needed to assess the relationship to clinical outcomes.
Abstract
mammography + tomosynthesis; difference, 1.3 (95% CI, 0.4-2.1; P = .004); for cancer detection, 4.2 (95% CI, 3.8-4.7) with digital mammography vs 5.4 (95% CI, 4.9-6.0) with digital mammography + tomosynthesis; difference, 1.2 (95% CI, 0.8-1.6; P < .001); and for invasive cancer detection, 2.9 (95% CI, 2.5-3.2) with digital mammography vs 4.1 (95% CI, 3.7-4.5) with digital mammography + tomosynthesis; difference, 1.2 (95% CI, 0.8-1.6; P < .001). The in situ cancer detection rate was 1.4 (95% CI, 1.2-1.6) per 1000 screens with both methods. Adding tomosynthesis was associated with an increase in the positive predictive value for recall from 4.3% to 6.4% (difference, 2.1%; 95% CI, 1.7%-2.5%; P < .001) and for biopsy from 24.2% to 29.2% (difference, 5.0%; 95% CI, 3.0%-7.0%; P < .001). CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE Addition of tomosynthesis to digital mammography was associated with a decrease in recall rate and an increase in cancer detection rate. Further studies are needed to assess the relationship to clinical outcomes.

Workflow improvements for digital breast tomosynthesis: computerized generation of enhanced synthetic images

TL;DR: This work proposes an alternative approach in which an algorithm automatically identifies suspicious regions of interest from 3D reconstructed DBT slices and then merges the findings with the corresponding 2D synthetic projection image which is then reviewed to create an enhanced synthetic 2D image.

Risk of radiation-induced cancer from screening mammography

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a novel method to determine and convey radiation risk from full field digital mammography (FFDM) screening using lifetime effective risk, which is more likely to be understandable by screening clients and referring clinicians, unlike MGD which is not readily available or understandable by the general populace.

Breast Density of Mammography is Correlated with Reproductive Risk Factors Regardless of Menopausal Status: A Cross-Sectional Study of the Korean National Screening Program.

TL;DR: Breast density influenced screening results, which could increase the rate of recall, and breast density was also influenced by reproductive factors, with patterns similar to those of breast cancer risk, regardless of menopausal status.

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.

Diagnostic Performance of Digital versus Film Mammography for Breast-Cancer Screening

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.
