Increased Cancer Detection Rate and Variations in the Recall Rate Resulting from Implementation of 3D Digital Breast Tomosynthesis into a Population-based Screening Program

Implementation of Synthesized Two-dimensional Mammography in a Population-based Digital Breast Tomosynthesis Screening Program.

Purpose To evaluate the early implementation of synthesized two-dimensional (s2D) mammography in a population screened entirely with s2D and digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) (referred to as s2D/DBT) and compare recall rates and cancer detection rates to historic outcomes of digital mammography combined with DBT (referred to as digital mammography/DBT) screening. Materials and Methods This was...

Participation Rate, Family Histories, Symptoms, and Incidence of Breast Cancer in the Screening Program for Breast Cancer in the Population Covered by Arak Health Centers

Introduction: Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women. The present study aimed to assess the incidence, family histories, and symptoms of breast cancer among the 30–70-year-old women under the coverage of the health centers of Arak city, as well as evaluating the rate of participation in breast cancer screening. Methods: The present cross-sectional study was conducted during 2016-2019 ...

Factors affecting recall rate and false positive fraction in breast cancer screening with breast tomosynthesis - A statistical approach.

In this study, we investigate which factors affect the false positive fraction (FPF) for digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) compared to digital mammography (DM) in a screening population by using classification and regression trees (C&RT) and binary marginal generalized linear models. The data was obtained from the Malmö Breast Tomosynthesis Screening Trial, which aimed to compare the performan...

Breast cancer detection in digital breast tomosynthesis

Comparison of digital mammography alone and digital mammography plus tomosynthesis in a population-based screening program.

PURPOSE To assess cancer detection rates, false-positive rates before arbitration, positive predictive values for women recalled after arbitration, and the type of cancers detected with use of digital mammography alone and combined with tomosynthesis in a large prospective screening trial. MATERIALS AND METHODS A prospective, reader- and modality-balanced screening study of participants under...
