the sensitivity and specificity of mammography are limited in highly fibroglandular breasts (acr density c and d). digital mammography provides increased sensitivity in young women and those with moderately dense breasts, and digital three-dimensional mammography (tomosynthesis) promises further improvement. for women with the densest breasts, however, radiography is unlikely to be the optimum ...

background : the aim of this study was to describe the coverage for cervical cancer screening among the visitors of a food exhibition in brussels, belgium and to describe the factors that affect their participation in the screening programs. methods : the participants aged between 25 and 64 years were recruited during a food exhibition at the brussels exhibition centre from 6 until 21 october 2...

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...

mri of the breast has evolved as a non-invasive imaging modality and is ideally suited for several indications e.g. pre-operative staging and screening in women at increased risk for breast cancer. the widespread use opens also the discussion on over-diagnosis if only 20 - 30 out of 100 mri - guided breast biopsies lead to the diagnosis of breast cancer. thus mri based strategies are needed to ...

Breast cancer is one of the most common cancer in the world. Early detection of cancers cause significantly reduce in morbidity rate and treatment costs. Mammography is a known effective diagnosis method of breast cancer. A way for mammography screening behavior identification is women's awareness evaluation for participating in mammography screening programs. Todays, intelligence systems could...

background: th e second leading cause of cancer deaths in women is breast cancer. germline mutations in susceptibility breast cancer gene brca1 increase the lifetime risk of breast cancer. eighty-one large genomic rearrangements (lgrs) have been reported up to date in brca1 gene, and evaluation of these rearrangements helps with precise risk assessment in high-risk individuals. in this study, w...
