Researchers sought to evaluate the performance of an ensemble of artificial intelligence-based methods for mammography screening in comparison with radiologist assessment.
Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers in women, and one where awareness, education, and early detection can have a large impact on a patient’s survival rate. For patients at risk of breast cancer, how can you explain the ways in which breast cancer is screened for and detected, and how important is early detection to reducing mortality?
While mammography, biopsies, and cancer diagnoses are up from 2020 lows, none have reached pre-COVID-19 volumes.
Performance of AI system for detecting breast cancers promising in setting of large population-based mammography screening program.
A review article examines associations between physical or lifestyle factors, mammographic breast density, and breast cancer risk.
For screen-detected, younger-diagnosis breast cancers, best-fitting models include new measures based on brightness, texture.
Cancer detection rate higher for repeat screening with digital breast tomosynthesis + synthetic mammography versus full-field digital mammography.
A cohort study sought to determine prevalence of interval breast cancer, noncompliant breast cancer, and screen-detected breast cancer.
When should women begin getting mammograms? Guidance can vary based on an individual’s family history or other high-risk identifiers, but physicians advise that women get screened for breast cancer consistently by at least age 50. However, a recent study out of the United Kingdom suggests that starting breast cancer screenings earlier could have a large…
Annual mammography screening, used by most patients, yields smaller and less advanced cancers.
