DBT + Synthetic Mammography Better at Repeat Screening
Cancer detection rate higher for repeat screening with digital breast tomosynthesis + synthetic mammography versus full-field digital mammography
Breast Cancer Mortality Decreased With Mammography From Age 40
Breast cancer mortality significantly dropped at 10 years of follow-up, attenuated after 10 years
Study IDs Which Women Benefit From DBT Versus Digital Mammography
Benefits of DBT seen in women with heterogeneously dense breasts, scattered fibroglandular density
Majority of Cancers Diagnosed Within Six Months of BI-RADS 3
Cancer yield 4.6 percent for women who underwent biopsy at time of lesion detection
Significant Reductions Seen in Breast Cancer Death With Screening
Women participating in mammography screening also had decrease in rate of advanced breast cancer
Medicaid Expansion Tied to Higher Mammography Rates
Expansion states saw higher Medicaid, total insurance coverage, and use of coverage for mammography
Sustained Favorable Outcomes Found With Digital Breast Tomosynthesis
Recall rate percentage significantly lower and cancer detection rate significantly higher for DBT versus DM
Continuing Annual Breast Cancer Screening No Benefit in Over-75s
No significant reductions found in eight-year breast cancer mortality for continuing versus stopping screening
Notification Laws May Not Increase Knowledge of Dense Breast Risks
Women with lower education may be less likely to gain awareness of breast density due to the laws
More Education Needed on Breast Density and Screening Choices
