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.

Breast Cancer Screening Modalities, Recommendations, and Novel Imaging Techniques.

TL;DR: The American Society of Breast Surgeons recommends that average-risk women undergo breast cancer screening every year starting at age 40 as mentioned in this paper , which remains the second leading cause of cancer death in the United States.

Impact of Colorized Display of Mammograms on Lesion Detection

TL;DR: Although modest improvement was demonstrated for a detection task using colorized display of a standard mammography phantom, no significant improvement was demonstrating using a color display for a simulated clinical detection task, and actual clinical performance was worse for colorization display of mammograms in comparison to standard grayscale display.

Reader performances in breast lesion characterization via DBT: One or two views and which view?

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the performance of one-view DM-DBT and two-view DBT for breast lesion characterization in 138 women from the population of a previous prospective multicenter study with 69 consecutive patients with benign or high-risk lesions and 69 randomized patients with breast cancer, all confirmed at pathology.

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.
