The issue of overdetection of cancer from screening must be addressed sooner than later, say experts.

Mammography would be more accurate and comfortable for patients with mammographic pressure standardization.

Localized correlated spectroscopy may show signs of biochemical abnormalities, possibly signaling breast cancer among women with BRCA gene.

Breast density awareness is more common in women who are educated, had higher household income, and have health insurance.

Breast lesions detected by MRI and classified as BI-RADS 2 were shown to not be malignant, and therefore do not need biopsy.

Radiologists need to prepare for screening asymptomatic patients.
