Mammographic sensitivity is affected by masking—that is, cancers that cannot be detected because of the superimposition of overlapping radiopaque dense breast tissue on an underlying malignancy when a three-dimensional breast is imaged in a two-dimensional mammogram (Fig. 1). A decrease in mammograph...

The sample includes WHI participants without history of breast cancer who were enrolled in Medicare Parts A and B for ≥2 years from 2005–2010, and who completed WHI baseline attitudinal questionnaires (n = 48,291). We used survival modeling to examine whether screening frequency varied by...
The USPSTF again finds that the evidence is insufficient to assess the balance of benefits and harms of supplemental screening for breast cancer using breast ultrasonography or MRI in women identified to have dense breasts on an otherwise negative screening mammogram and the balance of benefits and ...

45 For screening frequency, although the guidelines recommend regular screening, currently one-time screening is provided by most areas of the NCSPs. Providing one-time screening is a pragmatic strategy, because it would be difficult to provide repeated screening for such a large population, and ...
Of the women who are called back for further tests after their mammogram, about how many will turn out to have breast cancer (some or a few). 6) Mammography has been proven to save lives from breast cancer in women under the age of 50 years with a family history like yours (false)...
Mammogram:This is a low-dose x-ray exam of the breasts used to screen for breast cancer. Mammograms can help detect breast cancer early when it is most treatable. Pap smear:This is a test used to screen for cervical cancer. A Pap smear can help detect cervical cancer early when it is...
