Summary: This study found that the rate of change in breast density was associated with the risk of subsequent breast cancer. Incorporation of longitudinal changes into existing models could optimize risk stratification and guide more personalized risk management.

Summary: The study reviewed mammograms for 1225 women with screen-detected breast cancer. Results showed that visible findings on prior screening mammograms were not necessarily indicative of screening failure. Some cases were classified as missed, aiming to improve the quality of breast cancer screening.

Summary: Interval cancer rates were lower in DBT screening compared to DM screening, potentially indicating screening benefits. Interval cancers in the trial generally exhibited nonfavorable characteristics.

Summary: This retrospective study simulated double reading with artificial intelligence (AI) as an independent reader (IR) in screening mammography. The results showed that AI has the potential to substantially reduce human reader workload while maintaining or improving the standard of care across different screening programs, mammography equipment, and geographies.

Summary: The baseline cancer detection was higher in the DBT plus DM arm compared to the DM arm, but the interval cancer incidence was similar between the two groups. Cumulative incidence remained higher in women over 50 in the DBT plus DM arm, while it was similar in women aged 45-49.

Summary: Breast density is an independent risk factor for breast cancer and can be assessed visually using digital mammography and tomosynthesis. In addition to density, textural complexity is also a measure of breast cancer risk. Other screening modalities like breast US and MRI offer independent risk measures as well.

Summary: This study evaluated the changes in diagnostic accuracy and subjective and objective fatigue during a DBT reporting session, and assessed the impact of taking a reporting break. The results showed that breaks can reduce subjective and objective fatigue without affecting diagnostic accuracy.

Summary: The study found that preoperative contrast-enhanced spectral mammography (CEM) had better ability to detect additional cancer lesions in breast cancer patients compared to digital mammography plus digital breast tomosynthesis (DM + DBT), especially in dense breasts. CEM and DM + DBT showed similar performance in cancer size assessment.

Summary: The study evaluated the impact of using an artificial intelligence (AI) system as support for human double reading in a breast cancer screening program. The results showed that AI support can improve the cancer detection rate and positive predictive value.

Summary: This study confirmed that using digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) for breast cancer screening in Japanese women can improve the recall rate, decrease positive predictive value, and reduce the detection of focal asymmetric density (FAD). There was no significant difference in cancer detection rates between the DBT group and digital mammography group, only confirming the non-inferiority of DBT.

Summary: The study evaluated the cost-effectiveness of breast cancer screening strategies stratified by breast density, concluding that baseline mammography at age 40 is effective and cost-effective.

Summary: The prototype of a new innovative risk model, Breast-iRRISC, is designed to evaluate the total risk involved with screening mammography for each individual female using information gathered from a single mammographic examination. This novel tool demonstrates the applicability of personalized risk assessment in informing clinical decision-making and health policy regarding breast cancer screening.

Summary: The malignancy rate of probably benign calcifications assessed by digital magnification view was found to be low. The distribution, morphology, increase in calcifications, and presence of newly diagnosed breast cancer/high-risk lesion were associated with malignancy.
