Diagnosis & Disease Information
Do Mammograms Save Lives?
One recently published study found no mortality benefit to annual screening mammograms, but critics cry “foul.”
Screening Mammography Benefits Called Into Question
Annual mammography does not reduce mortality from breast cancer among 40- to 59-year-old women.
Technique Boosts Screening Mammography Detection Rate
Digital mammography screening with a direct radiography (DR) photon-counting system has good diagnostic performance.
CT-Measured Breast Density Consistent with Mammography
Semiautomated computer-derived measurements of breast density are consistent with radiologist assessments.
New Model May More Accurately Predict Breast Cancer Incidence
A new prediction model has been developed that may quantify a woman’s risk of breast cancer more accurately.
Review Weighs Benefits, Harms of Mammography Screening
Among 1,000 U.S. women screened annually for 10 years, 0.3 to 3.2 will avoid breast cancer death.
Millions on Medicare Received Free Preventive Services
Due to ACA, more than 25.4 million Original Medicare beneficiaries received at least one free preventive service in 2013
Benefits of Mammography Screening Consistent Across Studies
Reviews show a substantial reduction in breast cancer mortality with screening.
RSNA Studies Show Benefit With Shorter Mammography Intervals, Promise for MRgFUS Ablation
Studies show promise for magnetic resonance guided focused ultrasound ablation and lower lymph node positivity with shorter time between mammography screening.
