Study rejects mammography's role in reducing mortality
By Rebekah Moan
The findings of a new Danish-Norwegian study are reviving the claim that the recent drop in breast cancer mortality is not due to mammography screening but rather the result of improved treatment. The authors assert it's time to consider alternatives to mammography screening -- such as breast palpation by physicians.

Can Tetris inspire AI for MRI breast cancer detection?
By AuntMinnieEurope.com staff writers
Borrowing concepts used in the classic computer game Tetris, Australian researchers have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm that they say can detect tumors on breast MRI exams nearly twice as fast as existing breast cancer detection methods without affecting accuracy.

DBT + mammo improves cancer detection, increases recalls
By Rebekah Moan
In a substudy of a large digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) trial, Italian researchers found screen reading using DBT with either acquired or synthesized 2D mammography generally improved breast cancer detection compared with 2D mammography alone but also increased false-positive recalls.

Supine breast MRI more accurately sizes tumors
By Rebekah Moan
Performing breast MRI on patients in the supine position more accurately determines breast cancer tumor size than prone MRI, according to research from Finland. And because supine MRI demarcates and projects lesions on the skin in the same position used in surgery, it is likely to reduce the need for more operations.

New tool calculates breast cancer recurrence
By Rebekah Moan
London researchers have created a web-based calculator that can better predict the long-term risk of breast cancer returning in other areas of the body. The tool, Clinical Treatment Score post-5 years (CTS5), went live on 24 August.

EUSOBI issues new guidance on breast ultrasound
By Rebekah Moan
The European Society of Breast Imaging (EUSOBI) has released a new set of guidelines for breast ultrasound. Among the key recommendations is that ultrasound alone is not sufficient for breast screening, despite the limitations of mammography

French mammography usage soars after national rollout
By Rebekah Moan
Once breast cancer screening went national in France, takeup of mammography rose by 12%, a study published online on 6 August revealed. The effects were particularly significant among women with less education and lower incomes, suggesting the program reduced socioeconomic disparities.

DBT's benefits vary between Europe and the U.S.
By Kate Madden Yee
A new meta-analysis has reaffirmed the value of digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) for breast screening, with DBT detecting more cancers with fewer recalls. But DBT's effect varied significantly between the U.S. and Europe, according to results published online August 9 in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.
