INTRODUCTION Breast cancer control efforts could benefit from estimating mammography prevalence at the substate level because studies have primarily analyzed health survey data at the national and state levels. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the extent to which geographic disparities exist in mammography use across counties in the contiguous United States. METHODS We estimated coun...

BACKGROUND Worldwide, over half a million women died of breast cancer in 2011 alone. Mammography screening is associated with a reduction of 20 to 35% in breast cancer mortality. The aim of this study was to determine the awareness and practice of mammography screening and predictors of its uptake in Malaysian women attending a primary care clinic. MATERIALS AND METHODS A cross-sectional stud...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to supplement the paucity of information available on logistical aspects of the application of three-dimensional (3D) mammography in breast screening. METHODS We prospectively examined the effect on radiographers' and radiologists' workload of implementing 3D mammography in screening by comparing image acquisition time and screen-reading time for two-dimens...

Review content summary This systematic review of 117 studies aimed to determine the risks and benefits of mammography screening for women 40 to 49 years of age. Participants studied were women 40 to 49 years of age. To be included, studies were systematic reviews, randomized-controlled trials, and observational studies. When possible, reviewers focused on evidence from studies featuring specifi...

The medical audit of a mammography practice is a recognized method for evaluating mammography and the accuracy of mammographic interpretation [1-4]. As such, portions of the audit will become integral to the quality assurance activities of every mammography practice under the Mammography Quality Standards Act (MQSA) of 1992, administered by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The FDA Interi...

In screening for secondary prevention of breast cancer, clinical breast examination (CBE) combined with mammography may improve overall screening sensitivity compared with mammography alone. A systematic evaluation of the relative expenses and projected benefit of combining these two screening modalities is not presently available. We addressed this issue using a microsimulation model incorpora...

background: breast cancer is the most common cancer among women worldwide. because of unknown etiology of cancer there is no specific existing method to prevent this diseases. annual mammography is considered the most valuable tool for detecting breast cancer in the earliest possible stages. this study was conducted to determine the effects of an education program on promoting mammography behav...

Abstract Background Proper assessment of mammographically detected asymmetries is essential to avoid unnecessary biopsies and missed cancers as they may be a benign or malignant cause. According ACR BIRADS atlas 2013, are classified into asymmetry, focal global developing asymmetry. We aimed assess the diagnostic performance artificial intelligence in compared breast ultrasound well combined ma...

BACKGROUND There is controversy about whether adding clinical breast examination (CBE) to mammography improves the accuracy of breast screening. We compared the accuracy of screening among centers that offered CBE in addition to mammography with that among centers that offered only mammography. METHODS The cohort included 290 230 women aged 50-69 years who were screened at regional cancer cen...

BACKGROUND The impact of screening mammography on breast cancer incidence is difficult to disentangle from cohort- and age-related effects on incidence. METHODS We developed an age-period-cohort model of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) and invasive breast cancer incidence in U.S. females using cancer registry data. Five functions were included in the model to estimate stage-specific effects f...
