Mammography

For women who do not have easy access to mammography, clinical breast examination has been shown to increase breast cancer detection and save lives.

The approach, based on ACR guidance, is intended to promote vaccine use while reducing patient anxiety and unnecessary imaging.

While digital breast tomosynthesis improves cancer detection and recall rates among women of all ages and races, significantly fewer African American women have access to the exam.

Women with less education, with lower income, or from racial and ethnic minority groups have less access to 3D mammography and the potential benefits it provides.

The currently acceptable 12 percent-to-14 percent recall rate is too high to maximize cancer detection and minimize biopsies and unnecessary follow-up studies.

Study shows that baseline mammography screening to identify breast density, starting at age 40, is cost-effective.

After more than two decades, women between ages 20 and 39 are seeing a slight increase in the rates of breast cancer mortality.

Female breast cancer diagnosis is now the most common cancer diagnosis globally, largely affecting women in transitioning countries.

When deciding whether to continue screening mammography with older breast cancer survivors, consider life expectancy, experts said.

A focus on more comprehensive, up-to-date research and inclusion of racial disparities data will lead to more appropriate mammography screening guidelines, experts say.

With more axillary adenopathies likely to present on breast imaging, Society of Breast Imaging experts offer guidance for best management during the pandemic.

More women are learning about their breast density levels, but the rates still remain low.

As imaging volumes continue to rise, experts offer a targeted solution that could lead to faster throughput.

In a $64-million deal, Hologic has acquired SOMATEX Medical Technologies GmbH, effectively expanding its breast health care solutions capabilities.

Study finds basing screening recommendations on age does not maximize the benefit – using different factors to design targeted testing would be better.
