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.

Digital Breast Tomosynthesis: Physics, Artifacts, and Quality Control Considerations

TL;DR: Digital breast tomosynthesis is considered a new imaging modality; therefore, breast imaging facilities are required to obtain a separate certification in addition to that in FFDM, and all personnel are mandated to complete initial DBT training and maintain appropriate continuing medical education credits.

Breast Cancer Screening and Prevention

TL;DR: This study estimated that modifiable risk factors (such as postmenopausal obesity, exercise, and alcohol use) account for an additional 40% of cases, and a statistical model, the Breast Cancer Risk Assessment Tool (BRCAT), is the first widely used breast cancer calculator designed for the general population of women.

Comparing Diagnostic Performance of Digital Breast Tomosynthesis and Full-Field Digital Mammography in a Hybrid Screening Environment

TL;DR: Female patients undergoing screening DBT or FFDM at an academic medical center and outpatient imaging facility between October 2012 and May 2015 were compared to compare the diagnostic performance of screening digital breast tomosynthesis to that of full-field digital mammography in a mixed DBT and FFDM imaging environment.

Breast cancer detection using synthetic mammograms from generative adversarial networks in convolutional neural networks

TL;DR: To classify the normal ROIs and abnormal ROIs from DDSM, adding GAN-generated ROIs to the training data can reduce overfitting of the classifier and GAN could be an optional augmentation approach.

Digital breast tomosynthesis versus digital mammography: integration of image modalities enhances deep learning-based breast mass classification

TL;DR: Transfer learning facilitates mass classification for both DBT and FFDM, and DBT outperforms FFDM when equipped with transfer learning, and the DBT-based DCNN outperforms the FFDM-basedDCNN when equippedwith transfer learning.

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.
