can be evaluated relative to the proven screening test (screening mammography being the comparator test for breast cancer) as a replacement for the comparator or as an incremental (additional) method, whereby the new test would only be carried out in those where the comparator test is negative....
The US Preventive Services Task Force (USPTF) has issued new breast cancer screening guidelines for 2024, including suggesting mammograms start earlier.
Recent research presented at the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) shows that the majority of patients welcome AI-driven breast cancerscreenings. The study looked at how women felt about AI in mammograms. The majority of respondents were familiar withAI in medicine. Of those, nearly ...

Despite the substantial interest and investment in research on breast cancer screening, there is uncertainty about the magnitude of mammography’s benefits and harms and how to select patients and screening strategies to optimize the balance between benefits and harms. In the face of such uncertainty...
“The percentage of late-stage cancers increased significantly with increased screening intervals,” said Zuley. “Annual mammograms are crucial for early detection of breast cancer, which increases the likelihood of survival, decreases harms to patients becausetreatment may not need to be as intense,...
The U.S. Preventative Services Task Force is now recommending women get a mammogram every other year beginning at age 40, a significant update from the previous recommendation of screenings starting at 50. Dr. John Wong, vice chair of the U.S. Preventati
UCL Medicine, has developed an ultra-sensitive blood test for breast cancer that could help to detect cancer at a very early stage and improve screening for the disease in younger women, for whom mammography is less sensitive.
Women diagnosed with breast cancer who had regular screening mammograms every year were less likely to have late-stage cancer and had higher overall survival than those who received screening every other year or less often, according to new research from the University of Pittsburgh and UPMCpublished...
