Breast Cancer Screening and Detection Quiz

• Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in women.
• Screening mammography has decreased breast cancer mortality by 36%.
• Breast density affects mammography sensitivity.
• Screening mammography is recommended for women starting at age 50, with varied frequency and personalized screening for those aged 40-49.
• Digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) can increase cancer detection rates and decrease false positives.
• DBT is recommended for women under 50, those with dense breasts, and for detecting spiculated masses and asymmetries.
• DBT interpretation time is longer and dose is increased if 2-D images are obtained in addition to DBT images.
• Synthesized reconstructed images may replace the need for a 2-D correlative view.
• Dense breast tissue lowers mammography sensitivity and increases breast cancer risk.
• Screening recommendations should consider life expectancy and comorbid conditions.
