The study published Monday in the journal Health Affairs breaks the cost down as follows: $2.8 billion resulting from false-positive mammograms and another $1.2 billion attributed to breast cancer overdiagnosis. That's the treatment of tumors that grow slowly or not at all, and are unlikely to ...

This pictorial essay discusses breast lesions that show increased FDG activity, mimicking breast cancer, with biopsy-confirmed benign diagnosis.Acute and chronic inflammation, physiologic...
Researchers also found that only 67% of women returned for routine mammography if a false-positive reading requires a biopsy to rule out cancer. “The finding raises concerns about the potential unintended consequence of false-positive results, where women may avoid screening mammograms...
The cytological patterns of a range of benign lesions which may cause diagnostic difficulties and may be misdiagnosed as malignant by FNB are described, and guidelines to reduce the risk of false-positive diagnoses are proposed. 展开 关键词: NEEDLE biopsy BREAST PRECANCEROUS conditions ...
Breast MRI has high sensitivity in breast cancer detection, and the BI-RADS MRI lexicon was a step toward standardized description of lesions. However, false-positive findings occur and lead to unnecessary biopsy. The purpose of this investigation was to identify criteria for false-positive findings...
A false positive (FP) can be defined either narrowly as an unnecessary biopsy (i.e. a biopsy that does not detect cancer) or broadly as unnecessary additional work-up (i.e. an additional work-up that does not detect cancer). Gelfand and Wang (GW) [2–4] proposed methodology for ...
Women with positive and false positive mammograms will undergo further mammograms or ultrasound followed by a biopsy to confirm or rule out breast cancer. False-positive mammograms are common in women with dense breasts and also in women who has benign tumors, calcium deposits, thick skin, new...
