We present the case of a 76 year-old male with BRCA2 and a personal history of left-sided breast cancer who presented 20 years later with right-sided breast cancer found on screening mammography. The role of screening mammography and its relevance to males with breast cancer is poorly understood. There are currently no screening guidelines for male breast cancer. Further research is needed to d...

Abstract Breast cancer is the second leading cause of mortality in adult women United States. Screening mammography reduces breast between 22% and 48%; however, screening remains underutilized. utilization data are available from insurance claims, electronic medical records, patient self-report via surveys, each source has unique benefits challenges. Numerous barriers exist that adversely affec...

This article summarizes the eight major randomized, controlled clinical trials of breast cancer screening with mammography, provides an objective critical review of the evidence for screening, and assesses the current state of knowledge about breast cancer screening. This report concludes that, for women between 50 and 69 years of age, screening significantly reduces mortality from breast cance...

Whether or not U.S. women follow the recommended breast cancer screening guidelines is related to the perceived benefits and harms of the procedure. Twitter is a rich source of subjective information containing individuals’ sentiment towards public health interventions/technologies. Using a modified version of Hutto and Gilbert (2014) sentiment classifier, we described the temporal, geospatial,...

BACKGROUND The addition of annual MRI screening to mammography has heightened optimism that intensive screening along with improved treatments may substantially improve life expectancy of women at high risk of breast cancer. However, survival data from BRCA2 mutation carriers undergoing intensive combined breast screening are scarce. METHODS We have collated the results of screening with eith...

OBJECTIVES To explore how women with negative mammography screening results, but who were later diagnosed with interval breast cancer, reacted when they observed breast symptoms that could indicate malignancy in-between screening rounds. DESIGN Semistructured individual interviews with women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer during mammography screening intervals. SETTING Two breas...

background & aim: breast, cervical, and colorectal cancers are the leading causes of mortality among women, the incidence rate of which has an upward trend with advancing age. although cost-effective, easy, and available screening programs can help control these types of cancer in their early stages, it seems that cancer screening programs have not been implemented effectively. in this study, w...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to compare breast and cervical cancer screening rates between female cancer survivors and a population without cancer to identify factors related to cervical and breast cancer screening in cancer survivors. METHODS We included 17,765 adults (738 cancer survivors and 17,027 individuals without cancer) in this study, all of whom who were 30 years of age or o...

BACKGROUND Screening with mammography has been shown by randomized controlled trials to reduce breast cancer mortality in women aged 40 to 74 years. Estimates from observational studies following screening implementation in different countries have produced varyied findings. We report findings for seven Canadian breast screening programs. METHODS Canadian breast screening programs were invite...

OBJECTIVE To assess the results of an initial round of supplemental screening with hand-held bilateral breast ultrasound following a negative screening mammogram in asymptomatic women with dense breast tissue who are not at high risk for breast cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective, Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act compliant, Institutional Research Board approved st...
