With these recommendations in mind, we proposed a study to evaluate women at our institution in whom breast cancer is diagnosed within 1 year of a previously benign mammogram. A retrospective chart review was performed over a 4-year period. Only patients who had both diagnostic mammograms and ...
The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommends mammogram screening every other year for women through 74 years and the American Cancer Society recommends mammograms for women beyond age 74 if they have alife expectancyof 10 or more years. These recommendations differ because relatively few women ...
Because of these concerns, the US Preventive Services Task Force recommended in 2009 that women start regular mammogram screening at age 50 years, not 40. The study authors noted, however, that simply changing age recommendations is not an optimal way to make breast cancer scre...
non-mass-enhancement (NME), and the reason for biopsy (high risk screening, staging, equivocal mammogram, and clinical suspicion) were also recorded. An upgrade was considered when the surgical excision yielded invasive carcinoma or ductal carcinoma in situ. Fisher exact test was used for ...
One case had 90% lobular morphology on resection; however the biopsy target was for calcifications on mammogram and the core showed predominantly high grade DCIS with only a small focus of invasive carcinoma. Conclusions: IDC-L can be diagnosed on core biopsies with good correlation on resection...
A study led by UC Davis Health has found that half of all women will experience at least one false positive mammogram over a decade of annual breast cancer screening with digital breast tomosynthesis (3D mammography). The risk of false positive results a
With these recommendations in mind, we proposed a study to evaluate women at our institution inwhom breast cancer is diagnosed within 1 year of a previously benign mammogram. A retrospective chart review was performed over a 4-year period. Only patients who had both diagnostic mammograms and ...
Mammogram Recommendations Challenged; Annual Physical Examination of Breasts Just as Effective in Curbing Cancer Deaths, Study SaysSusan Okie
RESULTS: Patients who attended the AWV showed greater adherence to mammogram completion regardless of the link to the physician follow-up visit. Differences in adherence to colonoscopy recommendations were not significant, likely because of the low number of colonoscopies reported. CONCLUSIONS: Nurse-run...
Re-excision was more common in patients with underestimated tumor size on mammogram (14/28, 50%) when compared to those who did not (16/44, 36%), but not on ultrasound, where re-excision was comparable (30% vs 37%). Conclusions: Pre-operative imaging in patients with IDC-L often ...
