  2. 1. Breast tomosynthesis – new perspectives on breast cancer screening

    Author : Kristina Lång; Malmö Diagnostisk radiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Breast cancer; Breast tomosynthesis; Mammography; Breast cancer screening; Cancer detection rate; Recall rate; False positive rate; Image perception; Reading time; Lesion visualisation; Detection error;

    Abstract : Abstract: Mammography is currently the established method in breast cancer screening, although the sensitivity is known be affected by overlapping tissue concealing tumours. Breast tomosynthesis takes advantage of multiple exposures at different angles reducing the negative effect of obscuring tissue. READ MORE

  4. 2. Improving breast cancer screening with artificial intelligence

    Author : Victor Dahlblom; Malmö Diagnostisk radiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; breast cancer; artificial intelligence; screening; mammography; breast tomosynthesis; bröstcancer; artificiell intelligens; screening; mammografi; brösttomosyntes;

    Abstract : Introduction: The current standard method for breast cancer screening is digital mammography (DM). Digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) can detect more cancers but is more resource-demanding, not the least due to a more time-consuming reading, which hinders the implementation in screening.

  5. 3. Small breast cancers : Diagnosis, prognostic factors and clinical outcome in a screening population

    Author : Lars-Gunnar Arnesson; Karl von Smitten; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : Breast neoplasm; diagnostic; treatment; pathology; MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Breast cancer ≤ 10 mm together with ductal in situ cancer of the breast (DCIS) today constitute more than 40% of screening detected breast malignancies. Prognostic factors, diagnosis and clinical outcome for invasive breast cancers ≤ 10 mm and local recurrence in DCIS were evaluated. READ MORE

  6. 4. Interval cancers, positive predictive value for malignance and other early quality indicators in mammographic screening for breast cancer

    Author : Bedrich Vitak; Ingvar Andersson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : Mammography; Breast neoplasm; Breast cancer screening; Interval breast cancer; Metastasis; Mortality; MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : The study was designed to evaluate early quality indicators in screening for breast cancer. lt comprised, (i) investigations of compliance, recall, referral, cancer detection, and interval cancer rates in the Östergötland screening programme of women aged 40-74 years; (ii) evaluation of the three-stage diagnostic procedure for pre-operative assessment of women with suspicious mammographic findings; (iii) comprehensive analysis of all invasive interval cancers detected; and (iv) investigation into how to reduce the number of interval cancers without a concomitant increase in false positives.

    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; breast cancer; health promotion; mammography screening; participation; women;

    Abstract : This dissertation focuses on women’s participation in mammography screening, which is a vital component of early detection and effective management of breast cancer. All Swedish women in the age group of 40-74 receive an invitation by mail at regular intervals of 18-24 months. READ MORE
