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.

Comparative effectiveness of combined digital mammography and tomosynthesis screening for women with dense breasts.

TL;DR: Biennial combined digital mammography and tomosynthesis screening for U.S. women aged 50-74 years with dense breasts is likely to be cost-effective if priced appropriately and if reported interpretive performance metrics of improved specificity with tomosynthetics are met in routine practice.

Performance of breast cancer screening using digital breast tomosynthesis: results from the prospective population-based Oslo Tomosynthesis Screening Trial.

TL;DR: DBT-supplemented screening resulted in significant increases in screen-detected cancers and specificity, however, no significant change was observed in the rate, size, node status, or grade of interval cancers.

Role of image thermography in early breast cancer detection- Past, present and future

TL;DR: This paper presents survey based on the main steps of computer aided detection systems: image acquisition protocols, segmentation techniques, feature extraction and classification methods, used in the field of breast thermography over the past few decades, and presents future recommendations to utilize recent machine learning advances in real time.

Breast Cancer Screening for Women at Average Risk

TL;DR: There are multiple organizations with recommendations for breast cancer screening in women at average risk but differ in the age at which to initiate mammograms, screening interval, and the age in which to stop screening.

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.
