TLDR
Patients undergoing tomosynthesis plus digital mammography had significantly lower screening recall rates, and the greatest reductions were for those younger than 50 years and those with dense breasts.
Abstract
Although all breast density and age subgroups benefitted from the addition of tomosynthesis to conventional digital mammography, the patients receiving the greatest benefit were women with dense breasts and those younger than 50 years.

Breast Cancer Screening Using Tomosynthesis in Combination With Digital Mammography

TL;DR: 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.

Benefits and Harms of Breast Cancer Screening: A Systematic Review

TL;DR: Evidence for the relationship between screening and life expectancy and quality-adjusted life expectancy was low in quality and uncertainty remains about the magnitude of associated mortality reduction in the entire US population, among women 40 to 49 years, and with annual screening compared with biennial screening.

Harms of Breast Cancer Screening: Systematic Review to Update the 2009 U.S. Preventive Services Task Force Recommendation.

TL;DR: A systematic review updates evidence for the USPSTF on the harms of breast cancer screening, including false-positive mammography results, overdiagnosis, anxiety, pain during procedures, and radiation exposure, and how these adverse effects vary by age, risk factor, screening interval, and screening modality.

Deep Learning in Mammography: Diagnostic Accuracy of a Multipurpose Image Analysis Software in the Detection of Breast Cancer.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of a multipurpose image analysis software based on deep learning with artificial neural networks for the detection of breast cancer in an independent, dual-center mammography data set.

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.

Screening for breast cancer: an update for the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force.

TL;DR: New studies and evidence gaps that were unresolved at the time of the 2002 USPSTF recommendation are focused on, including the effectiveness of mammography screening in decreasing breast cancer mortality among average-risk women aged 40 to 49 years and 70 years or older.

Comparison of Digital Mammography Alone and Digital Mammography Plus Tomosynthesis in a Population-based Screening Program

TL;DR: The use of mammography plus tomosynthesis in a screening environment resulted in a significantly higher cancer detection rate and enabled the detection of more invasive cancers.
Journal ArticleDOI

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

TL;DR: Digital mammography did, however, perform significantly better than the film method in women less than 50 years of age, in those having heterogeneously dense or very dense breasts, and premenopausal or perimenopausal women.
