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...

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...
False positives result from lesions that appear suspicious on mammograms and these lesions often have abnormal cells when tested by biopsy. As a result, patients undergo surgery to remove the lesions. But in 90 percent of the cases the lesions are benign. The goal of the research is...
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 ...
or require a biopsy based on their suspicion of malignancy. There is considerable intra-reader variability in these recommendations and breast US has been criticized for increasing the number of false-positive findings13,14. Compared to mammography alone, the addition of US in breast cancer screening...
If you have ever received a call about an abnormal mammogram, you know it can be terrifying, but many of these scares turn out to be false-positives, meaning that after additional imaging or a biopsy, there is no cancer found. False-positive results are common, occurring in 10 to 12% ...
a false-positive mammogram, may also have an increased risk of developing tumor in the breast. But, Bernik refuses to agree with this suggestion. Women with positive and false positive mammograms will undergo further mammograms orultrasoundfollowed by a biopsy to confirm or rule out breast ca...
False-positive MRI examinations were defined as examinations that led to recall in women in whom no breast cancer was detected. False-positive recalls (FPR) include all women who were recalled (with or without performance of biopsy). False-positive biopsies (FPB) only include women for whom ...
