Another Study Questions Mammography Screening 2016-10-12T04:00:00Z So women continue to support a mammography economy that promises them a false sense of security. Mammograms may not need that painful 'squish'. Should I be relieved or appalled? | Mona Gable 2016-10-11T04:00:00Z In 2007, she had a “suspicious” mammography, but a biopsy taken turned out to be OK. 2 women develop bond as they fight breast cancer 2016-10-09T04:00:00Z Together, these data suggest that differences in access to public health systems, and hence, differences in access to—and quality of—mammography and treatment are likely contributing to the problem. Why Black Women Are More Likely to Die of Breast Cancer 2016-10-04T04:00:00Z Among the major projects of the Physics Laboratory have been the development of a space-based atomic clock that could be 10 times more accurate than atomic clocks on Earth, and improving techniques for mammography. Katharine B. Gebbie, physicist who supervised four Nobel laureates, dies at 84 2016-08-28T04:00:00Z The current study took a different approach to scrutinizing mammography.

Montana Editorial Roundup 2016-08-17T04:00:00Z The study, which involved centers in four U.S. states, found that radiologists varied widely in how often they defined mammography patients' breasts as dense. Wide Variation Seen in 'Dense' Breast Diagnoses 2016-07-18T04:00:00Z Radiation exposure was cited in recent U. S. Preventive Service Task Force screening recommendations for CT colonography and mammography. Why What You Think About Radiation Might Just Be Wrong 2016-04-21T04:00:00Z Preventive Services Task Force recommendations state that most women begin mammography at age 50. About Half of Women May Benefit From Mammograms at 40: Analysis 2016-04-14T04:00:00Z The study is the latest to question the value of routine mammography screening. Another Study Questions Mammography Screening 2016-10-12T04:00:00Z The American Cancer Society attributes the higher rate to limited access to mammography and other tests, and not following up on suspicious results. Lawmakers, radiologists say Medicaid cuts hurt poor women 2016-04-03T04:00:00Z Under the laws, mammography results must inform women whether their breasts appeared dense on the X-ray. Wide Variation Seen in 'Dense' Breast Diagnoses 2016-07-18T04:00:00Z "We see those arteries very well on mammography, and if some arteries are calcified we see their calcifications very well," Margolies explained. Mammograms May Also Help Spot Heart Disease, Study Suggests 2016-03-24T04:00:00Z "Furthermore, risk assessment is needed not only to determine who qualifies for mammography, but also who may require screening MRIs and/or genetic testing." About Half of Women May Benefit From Mammograms at 40: Analysis 2016-04-14T04:00:00Z The upshot, according to Welch, is that mammography is more likely to "overdiagnose" breast cancer than to catch more-aggressive tumors early. Another Study Questions Mammography Screening 2016-10-12T04:00:00Z The disease caused her to undergo a mastectomy of the left breast, and she used her experience to urge all women to undergo annual mammography screening. Health Highlights: March 6, 2016 2016-03-06T05:00:00Z "Women with thyroid disease are more likely to see their doctor and to undergo examinations including mammography," Jorgensen said. Overactive Thyroid Linked to Breast Cancer Risk 2016-02-11T05:00:00Z "This is potentially practice-changing in how radiologists read and report mammography. It's a revolutionary way to assess risk." Mammograms May Also Help Spot Heart Disease, Study Suggests 2016-03-24T04:00:00Z The American Cancer Society recommends yearly mammography from ages 45 to 54, then screenings every other year afterward. Insurer Rewards Push Women Toward Mammograms 2016-01-18T05:00:00Z Language was included in the spending bill that says any recommendations of the task force related to breast cancer screening, mammography and prevention refers to those “issued before 2009.” New breast cancer screening guidelines at odds with Congress 2016-01-11T05:00:00Z The other was screening with a newer test called 3-D mammography or digital breast tomosynthesis. Panel Reasserts Mammogram Advice That Triggered Breast Cancer Debate 2016-01-11T05:00:00Z Women aged 40 to 49 were encouraged to talk with their doctor about the best time to start regular, every-other-year mammography.

Should you worry about the radiation from CT scans? 2016-01-04T05:00:00Z It also said that after 74, there was not enough evidence to determine whether routine mammography was worthwhile. Panel Reasserts Mammogram Advice That Triggered Breast Cancer Debate 2016-01-11T05:00:00Z Both tests identified about the same number of cancers, with 129 women needing an ultrasound or 127 women needing a mammography for doctors to find one cancer. Ultrasound may help find cancer in women with dense breasts 2016-01-04T05:00:00Z Berg said the cost of mammography and ultrasound are comparable in the United States. Breast Ultrasound, Mammography May Be Equally Effective: Study 2015-12-28T05:00:00Z As with mammography, the costs of screening, including the false positives that result in additional testing and procedures, need to be weighed against the benefits in detecting cancer earlier. It May Soon Be Possible to Screen for Ovarian Cancer 2015-12-17T05:00:00Z Some U.S. states require mammography results to include a report on breast density, and some doctors recommend women with dense breasts to undergo additional testing, according to background information with the study. Is Breast Density an Overrated Cancer Risk Factor? 2015-12-02T05:00:00Z In one timely section of the book, Dr. Prasad discusses screening mammography, a practice intertwined with the treatment of ductal carcinoma in situ, two widespread practices teetering on the edge of reversal. When Medicine Reverses Itself 2015-11-19T05:00:00Z Decades after it started, the Canadian trial illustrates the essence of the mammography conflict — overall, women who were tested did not live longer, even though screening did uncover many cases of invasive cancer. Screening: Don't look now : Nature : Nature Publishing Group 2015-11-17T05:00:00Z "The cancers you need to find are the invasive, node-negative ones. More of the cancers found with ultrasound were invasive and node-negative than those found with mammography." Breast Ultrasound, Mammography May Be Equally Effective: Study 2015-12-28T05:00:00Z She said they made their first presentation at Fairmont Regional Medical Center when the first mammography suite was opened. Breast cancer survivor uses experience to help others 2015-11-01T04:00:00Z For every tumor detected early because of mammography, “you would hope to see … an equal reduction in metastatic disease, and that has not occurred.” Study: Mammograms haven’t cut rate of advanced breast cancer 2015-10-28T04:00:00Z There are other, almost equally important benefits of early detection by mammography. Why the Annual Mammogram Matters 2015-10-28T04:00:00Z For many women, the chance to reduce their risk of dying from breast cancer, even by a small amount, with a fairly simple procedure makes mammography seem worthwhile. Screening: Don't look now : Nature : Nature Publishing Group 2015-11-17T05:00:00Z They then recommend that women undergo annual screening with mammography from ages 45 to 54. Breast Ultrasound, Mammography May Be Equally Effective: Study 2015-12-28T05:00:00Z Many large hospitals use digital mammography capable of analyzing an average of 2,000 mammograms a year. Number of Mammograms Handled May Affect Breast Cancer Detection Rates 2015-10-27T04:00:00Z It comes a week after the American Cancer Society scaled back its mammography advice, saying most women should start annual screening at age 45, not 40, and switch to every other year at 55. Study: Mammograms haven’t cut rate of advanced breast cancer 2015-10-28T04:00:00Z Early detection with mammography and better treatment options are both directly responsible for that. Why the Annual Mammogram Matters 2015-10-28T04:00:00Z Pisano is planning a trial that would randomly assign 70,000 women to have either tomosynthesis or mammography to obtain the first accurate assessment of which technique helps women the most. Screening: Don't look now : Nature : Nature Publishing Group 2015-11-17T05:00:00Z It is confined within the milk ducts and a common finding on mammography. Risk of More Aggressive Early Breast Cancers Rises With Age, Study Finds 2015-10-27T04:00:00Z There are now eight long-term trials of mammography based in the United States, Canada, Sweden and Scotland. Why did the American Cancer Society ignore evidence about early detection until now? 2015-10-23T04:00:00Z The rate of breast cancers detected at an advanced stage has been stable since 1975, despite wide use of mammography since the 1980s. Study: Mammograms haven’t cut rate of advanced breast cancer 2015-10-28T04:00:00Z Women 40 to 44 should discuss mammography with their doctor, and exercise the option of starting annual screening based on their risk factors or personal preferences, the new guidelines state. New Mammogram Guidelines Already Creating Controversy 2015-10-21T04:00:00Z “I believe mammography helps a few women,” says Welch. Screening: Don't look now : Nature : Nature Publishing Group 2015-11-17T05:00:00Z The cancer society now recommends that most women not begin annual screening mammography until age 45. New Screening Guidelines Won’t Assure Fewer Mammograms 2015-10-21T04:00:00Z At the time, it was conducting a demonstration project of mammography across the country in which more than 200,000 women would be screened. Why did the American Cancer Society ignore evidence about early detection until now? 2015-10-23T04:00:00Z That doesn’t say mammography doesn’t help less aggressive cancers,” but those are less likely to prove deadly, Welch said. Study: Mammograms haven’t cut rate of advanced breast cancer 2015-10-28T04:00:00Z The new guidelines offer mammography as an option for women under 45. New Mammogram Guidelines Already Creating Controversy 2015-10-21T04:00:00Z The ACS was among those who disagreed arguing that the USPSTF "is essentially telling women that mammography at age 40 to 49 saves lives; just not enough of them." In major shift, new guidelines scale back breast cancer screenings for younger women 2015-10-20T04:00:00Z That study, conducted by the Breast Cancer Surveillance Consortium, found that annual mammography was better than every-other-year mammography at catching treatable breast cancers in women approaching menopause. Women Should Get Annual Mammograms Starting at Age 45: Cancer Society 2015-10-20T04:00:00Z Hoping to achieve statistical proof, doctors who were optimistic about mammography decided to study it using randomized controlled trials in which some women were screened and a control group was not. Why did the American Cancer Society ignore evidence about early detection until now? 2015-10-23T04:00:00Z Another potential risk of mammography is overdiagnosis, meaning that some of the tiny cancers it finds might never progress or threaten the patient’s life. American Cancer Society, in a Shift, Recommends Fewer Mammograms 2015-10-20T04:00:00Z Under the new guidelines, the American Cancer Society recommends that women 45 to 54 receive annual mammography screening, and at age 55 switch to screening every other year. New Mammogram Guidelines Already Creating Controversy 2015-10-21T04:00:00Z "But," he said, "I think this indirectly supports mammography screening."

Immunotherapy’s Promise Against Cancer 2015-10-06T04:00:00Z For women over 50, mammography is a more effective tool, lowering mortality from breast cancer by roughly 20 percent. Why did the American Cancer Society ignore evidence about early detection until now? 2015-10-23T04:00:00Z The statement also noted that the task force recognized “that there are health benefits to beginning mammography screening for women in their 40s.” American Cancer Society, in a Shift, Recommends Fewer Mammograms 2015-10-20T04:00:00Z The researchers concluded that CAD did not improve diagnostic accuracy and overall there was no beneficial impact of CAD on mammography interpretation. Adding Computer Analysis to Mammograms Doesn’t Improve Accuracy 2015-09-28T04:00:00Z Lehman said computer-aided detection failed to improve cancer detection, or sensitivity or specificity performance relative to mammography screenings evaluated without the expensive software. Computer-Aided Mammograms May Not Be Worth the Cost: Study 2015-09-28T04:00:00Z For instance, a woman with a strong family history of breast cancer would be offered a breast MRI in addition to mammography for routine testing, she said. MRIs Before Breast Cancer Surgery on the Rise: Study 2015-09-24T04:00:00Z They now account for as much as a quarter of cancer diagnoses made with mammography, as radiologists find smaller and smaller lesions. Early-Stage Breast Condition May Not Require Cancer Treatment 2015-08-20T04:00:00Z Dr. Wender said he hoped the new guidelines would end some of the debate and confusion about mammography. American Cancer Society, in a Shift, Recommends Fewer Mammograms 2015-10-20T04:00:00Z Though more research may be needed, the researchers write that their results “lend no support for continued reimbursement for CAD as a method to increase mammography performance or improve patient outcomes.” Adding Computer Analysis to Mammograms Doesn’t Improve Accuracy 2015-09-28T04:00:00Z In an accompanying journal editorial, Dr. Joshua Fenton backed Lehman's conclusion that CAD "adds no benefit beyond what is achieved from standard mammography without CAD." Computer-Aided Mammograms May Not Be Worth the Cost: Study 2015-09-28T04:00:00Z Future Group Diagnostics, founded in 2002, offers outpatient imaging services such as digital mammography and virtual colonoscopies. EXCHANGE: Diagnostics imaging company taps sun for power 2015-08-19T04:00:00Z My Upshot articles are littered with examples of this, including potentially too-widespread mammography screening, advanced life support and many surgical procedures. Labels Like ‘Alternative Medicine’ Don’t Matter. The Science Does. 2015-08-10T04:00:00Z Instead of advising against routine screening for women in their 40s, the group now says, “The decision to start screening mammography in women before age 50 years should be an individual one.” American Cancer Society, in a Shift, Recommends Fewer Mammograms 2015-10-20T04:00:00Z A study in the health policy journal Health Affairs finds that overdiagnosis and false positives in women 40-59 years old costs $4 billion per year – i.e., half of the annual expenditure on mammography screening. Mammograms Are a Mixed Bag 2015-07-23T04:00:00Z Food and Drug Administration approved use of costly computer-aided detection in conjunction with digital mammography in 1998, the researchers said in background notes.

Mandatory Reporting Of Breast Density In Screening Mammograms. Why The Controversy? 2015-07-10T04:00:00Z "Our analysis shows that, when directed toward the general U.S. population, the most prominent effect of screening mammography is overdiagnosis," the authors wrote. Health Buzz: Study Concludes Mammograms Lead to Overdiagnosis 2015-07-08T04:00:00Z Debate about standard mammography is far from settled. Dense Breast Screening: Dense if We Do, Dense if We Don't? 2015-07-08T04:00:00Z "My biggest concern with this article is the hint or suggestion that mammography screening does not reduce mortality," said Dr. Richard Wender, chief cancer control officer for the American Cancer Society. Regular Mamograms Might Lead to 'Overdiagnosis' of Breast Cancer 2015-07-06T04:00:00Z Preventive Services Task Force in April issued a draft of mammography recommendations that greatly reduces that frequency, saying evidence to support annual mammograms for women in their 40s is weak. How Often Do You Really Need a Mammogram? 2015-06-18T04:00:00Z This lack of insurance coverage may lead to economic disparity in mammography follow-up and, potentially, in early diagnosis of breast cancer. Mandatory Reporting Of Breast Density In Screening Mammograms. Why The Controversy? 2015-07-10T04:00:00Z Connecticut, Illinois and Indiana even require insurers to pay for ultrasound screening after mammography if a woman’s breast density falls above a certain threshold. You have dense breasts. What does that mean? 2015-06-01T04:00:00Z If mammography fails to do this when breast tissue is dense, it is the wrong approach. Dense Breast Screening: Dense if We Do, Dense if We Don't? 2015-07-08T04:00:00Z This risk is predicted to be increased when beginning regular mammography before age 50 years.” To Screen or Not to Screen: What’s the Right Answer? 2015-05-21T04:00:00Z The American College of Radiology is one such group, standing firm on yearly mammography starting at 40.

Study of Jewish Women Shows Link to Cancer Without Family History 2014-09-04T04:00:00Z "For screening mammography to be effective, women have to come for their screening appointments at the recommended intervals," lead author Dr. Elisa Chan said in a society news release. Personal Reminders Seem to Boost Mammography Rates 2014-09-03T04:00:00Z The seemly contradictory responses are part of “the tangled nature of emotions and values” that women bring to mammography, Dr. Rosenbaum wrote. Retesting Breast Cancer Axioms 2014-11-10T05:00:00Z The extraordinary difficulty of demonstrating the benefits of salt reduction, mammography, or various diets, for example, ought to serve as cautionary lessons. Allow use of electronic cigarettes to assess risk 2014-08-25T04:00:00Z “But there is so much we all agree on,” she said, including that mammography offers a women the best chance for early detection. Study: Mammograms can find cancer at earlier stages in older women 2014-08-04T04:00:00Z It’s available now in about 1,100 of the nation’s 13,500 mammography units, according to Hologic, a developer and manufacturer of medical imaging systems.

Personal Reminders Seem to Boost Mammography Rates 2014-09-03T04:00:00Z Where digital mammography offers diagnostic value is in improving accuracy of screening younger women with dense breasts. How A Misleading Headline on Mammography Generates Confusion 2014-07-18T04:00:00Z Kelly Cares originally partnered with Saint Joseph on its mobile mammography unit, which travels around the community offering free services to women and men who are uninsured or underinsured. Kellys’ charity pledges $250,000 to hospital 2014-07-04T04:00:00Z But at this point, there are no clear guidelines for mammography screening for women 75 and older, Kaplan said. Study: Mammograms can find cancer at earlier stages in older women 2014-08-04T04:00:00Z That project will open to the public early next year and includes suites dedicated exclusively to mammography, along with ultrasound and bone density scans. Campbell expansion will bring 3-D mammography 2014-07-31T04:00:00Z The study also found that women who had more than one prior screening mammography were 2.2 times more likely to return for screening than those who had just one previous screening. Personal Reminders Seem to Boost Mammography Rates 2014-09-03T04:00:00Z When stacked up against standard 2-D equipment, the 3-D exam was found to detect 30 percent more cancers overall and 41 percent more invasive cancers than traditional 2-D mammography, according to Fox News. 3-D Imaging Could Help Detect Breast Cancer 2014-06-25T04:00:00Z A large new study compares digital mammography, what’s been state-of-the-art in clinical practice for around 15 years, with addition of a newer method called tomosynthesis. Are 3-D Mammograms a Better Way to Screen for Breast Cancer? 2014-06-25T04:00:00Z Preventive Services Task Force, a panel of independent health experts convened by the federal government, does not recommend mammography screening in this age group, saying there is insufficient evidence to weigh risks and benefits. Study: Mammograms can find cancer at earlier stages in older women 2014-08-04T04:00:00Z Sarah Friedewald, co-medical director of the Caldwell Breast Center at Advocate Lutheran General Hospital in Park Ridge, Ill., who led the study, unequivocally endorsed the value of 3-D mammography over conventional imaging. Study finds 3-D mammography more effective at detecting most lethal breast cancers Conventional mammography takes images of the breasts from two angles. 3D Mammograms May Improve Breast Cancer Screening 2014-06-24T04:00:00Z The procedure is nearly identical to a routine mammogram, except that in mammography the machine is stationary, but in tomosynthesis it moves around the breast. 3-D Mammography Test Appears to Improve Breast Cancer Detection Rate 2014-06-24T04:00:00Z Like other kinds of mammography, tomosynthesis uses x-rays to generate breast images. Are 3-D Mammograms a Better Way to Screen for Breast Cancer? 2014-06-25T04:00:00Z But newer versions of the technology will bring that exposure down to levels similar to those of current mammography machines. New High-Tech 3D Mammograms Save Lives 2014-06-24T04:00:00Z The 3-D screening subjects women to more radiation than traditional mammography, but the amount is still well within limits set by the FDA, Friedewald said. Study finds 3-D mammography more effective at detecting most lethal breast cancers Researchers found that 3D mammography, used along with standard digital mammograms, bumped up breast cancer detection rates by more than 40 percent. 3D Mammograms May Improve Breast Cancer Screening 2014-06-24T04:00:00Z Mr. Culley said that when coverage is denied, some clinics charge patients $50 or so for the extra test in addition to the usual mammography fee. 3-D Mammography Test Appears to Improve Breast Cancer Detection Rate 2014-06-24T04:00:00Z So I don’t think it’s worth the costs of long-term randomized studies of mammography, by any method. Are 3-D Mammograms a Better Way to Screen for Breast Cancer? 2014-06-25T04:00:00Z Her fibrotic tissue meant that every mammography report was somewhat less than reassuring. New High-Tech 3D Mammograms Save Lives 2014-06-24T04:00:00Z In an editorial that accompanied the 3-D mammography study Tuesday, two physicians who were not involved in the research suggested that the results will renew debate, this time over whether tomosynthesis should replace digital mammography. Study finds 3-D mammography more effective at detecting most lethal breast cancers "We found 3D mammography really does help doctors find more invasive breast cancers while cutting down on callbacks," Friedewald said. 3D Mammograms May Improve Breast Cancer Screening 2014-06-24T04:00:00Z The study analyzed the records from 13 American mammography centers before and after they added tomosynthesis. 3-D Mammography Test Appears to Improve Breast Cancer Detection Rate 2014-06-24T04:00:00Z Second, I’m concerned about the risk of added radiation, which is approximately double that of the low-dose exposure per scan by digital mammography. Are 3-D Mammograms a Better Way to Screen for Breast Cancer? 2014-06-25T04:00:00Z "The reduction in mortality is large enough to outweigh the harms related to mammography screening," he said. Mammography Cuts Breast Cancer Deaths by 28 Percent: Study 2014-06-18T04:00:00Z The women were enrolled in the Ontario Breast Screening Program, which expanded in July 2011 to screen high-risk women in a special program that uses both tests -- MRI and digital mammography. MRIs Plus Mammograms Best for High-Risk Women, Study Finds 2014-06-17T04:00:00Z And the more fundamental question pertains to the objective benefits of mammography – that is, how many lives are actually saved due to detecting potentially fatal breast cancers at an earlier stage. Should Mammography Be Abolished? 2014-05-24T04:00:00Z Sometimes called 3-D mammography, the test takes many X-rays at different angles to create a three-dimensional image of the breast. 3-D Mammography Test Appears to Improve Breast Cancer Detection Rate 2014-06-24T04:00:00Z You could get a very sore neck watching all the claims and counter-claims about mammography zing back and forth. A Viewer’s Guide to Mammography Evidence Ping-Pong 2014-05-01T12:10:06Z In plain words, there is no evidence to date that routine mammography screening saves lives. This One Graphic Will Change the Way You Look at Breast Cancer Screening 2014-05-01T04:01:55Z False positives are frightening and expensive, but overtreatment is the potential harm of mammography that worries doctors most, according to an article published last week in The Journal of the American Medical Association. Well: Look for Cancer, and Find It 2014-04-07T21:33:09Z In spite of these controversies, the value of mammography screening has been an article of faith in the medical community, among American women, and among breast cancer advocates. Should Mammography Be Abolished? 2014-05-24T04:00:00Z The study results were the average for the 13 participating mammography centers. 3-D Mammography Test Appears to Improve Breast Cancer Detection Rate 2014-06-24T04:00:00Z With mammography screening for women at average risk of breast cancer for their age, it gets rather extreme: 10-fold differences between the numbers batted around is commonplace. A Viewer’s Guide to Mammography Evidence Ping-Pong 2014-05-01T12:10:06Z Trick #2: Don’t mention that mammography screening doesn’t reduce the chance of dying from cancer. This One Graphic Will Change the Way You Look at Breast Cancer Screening 2014-05-01T04:01:55Z The next step is to subtract the number of cancers in the unscreened group from the number in the mammography group. Well: Look for Cancer, and Find It 2014-04-07T21:33:09Z The authors ask: “Could the modest benefit of mammography screening in terms of breast-cancer mortality that was shown in trials initiated between 1963 and 1991 still be detected in a trial conducted today?” Should Mammography Be Abolished? 2014-05-24T04:00:00Z Instead, they should weigh the benefits and risks of mammography with their physicians and determine their tolerance for the uncertainty that may accompany skipping the exam. Despite strong benefits, mammography may have greater harms than previously realized, study says 2014-04-01T22:56:49Z The key players to watch out for are the meta-analysts whose work is the basis of new reviews and the claims and counter-claims about mammography. A Viewer’s Guide to Mammography Evidence Ping-Pong 2014-05-01T12:10:06Z Michael Marmot is the professor who led an independent panel in the UK through the mammography minefield last year. The Pitfalls of Disease Prevention Strategies 2014-03-24T00:29:56Z The result is the estimate of how many women in the mammography group were overtreated. Well: Look for Cancer, and Find It 2014-04-07T21:33:09Z Does the benefit of mammography outweigh the harm? Should Mammography Be Abolished? 2014-05-24T04:00:00Z “The take-home for the average woman is, first of all, that there is no right answer about mammography screening,” said Pace, a research fellow in global women’s health at Brigham and Women’s. Despite strong benefits, mammography may have greater harms than previously realized, study says 2014-04-01T22:56:49Z Around 70% of women aged 50-76 in the U.S. have mammograms. Ever since mammography started to take off in the U.S. in the late 1950s, Lerner points out it has had a “magic appeal.” A Viewer’s Guide to Mammography Evidence Ping-Pong 2014-05-01T12:10:06Z Your chances of being helped by a mammogram are greatest in your 60s, while your likelihood of getting a biopsy you didn’t need increases the earlier you start mammography. Making sense of new studies questioning mammograms: Is the test worth having? 2014-03-17T20:22:58Z The authors found that after 15 years there was a “residual excess” of 106 invasive cancers in the mammography group. Well: Look for Cancer, and Find It 2014-04-07T21:33:09Z The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that the rate of mammography is now the same in black and white women. Op-Ed Contributor: Why Black Women Die of Cancer 2014-03-13T23:38:42Z It is “profoundly disappointing that mammography doesn’t quite live up to its promise,” she added. Despite strong benefits, mammography may have greater harms than previously realized, study says 2014-04-01T22:56:49Z For others, though, mammography triggers ardent ideological opposition. A Viewer’s Guide to Mammography Evidence Ping-Pong 2014-05-01T12:10:06Z By the time they get to their 60s, he says, they’ve had enough — just as they arrive at the age where the benefits of mammography are greatest. Making sense of new studies questioning mammograms: Is the test worth having? 2014-03-17T20:22:58Z But in several studies, the number of cancers in the unscreened group never caught up with the number in the mammography group. Well: Look for Cancer, and Find It 2014-04-07T21:33:09Z On Sunday, she and Mr. Stewart joined six other string players as violinist Laura Jean Goldberg, 51, led a rendition of Mendelssohn’s Octet in the waiting room of the mammography floor.

A Viewer’s Guide to Mammography Evidence Ping-Pong 2014-05-01T12:10:06Z Knowing whether to have a mammogram — and when — became more confusing than ever last month when one of the largest-ever mammography studies cast doubts on the test’s value. Making sense of new studies questioning mammograms: Is the test worth having? 2014-03-17T20:22:58Z But the authors also say that estimates of how often overdiagnosis and overtreatment occur are among the least reliable and most controversial of all the data on mammography. Well: Look for Cancer, and Find It 2014-04-07T21:33:09Z Just because a new study shows that mammography may not save lives, don’t expect the organizations that set breast cancer screening guidelines to automatically adjust their recommendations on who should get mammograms and how often. Breast Cancer Screening Isn't Going Anywhere 2014-02-13T10:50:25Z But a randomized clinical trial comparing clinical breast exams with no care is unlikely, said Dr. Cornelia J. Baines, an author of the Canadian mammography study. The Consumer: A Fresh Case for Breast Self-Exams 2014-02-17T22:17:00Z Then there’s backlash and disillusion fueled by massive overselling of both the risk of breast cancer and the benefits of mammography. A Viewer’s Guide to Mammography Evidence Ping-Pong 2014-05-01T12:10:06Z Moreover, the study showed that one in five cancers found with mammography and then treated was not a threat to the woman’s health. Making sense of new studies questioning mammograms: Is the test worth having? 2014-03-17T20:22:58Z The authors attributed that to overdiagnosis, and said that it amounted to 22 percent of the 484 invasive cancers found by mammography. Well: Look for Cancer, and Find It 2014-04-07T21:33:09Z The study, which included nearly 90,000 women ages 40 to 59, is the latest to question the value of routine mammography. Mammograms Fail to Reduce Breast Cancer Deaths, Study Finds 2014-02-12T19:42:00Z In the Canadian study of women ages 40 to 59, mammography identified more cancers, but overdiagnosis led to unnecessary treatment like chemotherapy. The Consumer: A Fresh Case for Breast Self-Exams 2014-02-17T22:17:00Z That means you need very big randomized trials that follow women for years to get close to some answers about mammography. A Viewer’s Guide to Mammography Evidence Ping-Pong 2014-05-01T12:10:06Z Nearly 22 percent of the invasive cancers detected by mammography were harmless, meaning they would not cause symptoms or death during a woman's lifetime. New study adds to evidence that mammograms do not save lives 2014-02-12T17:46:48Z The mantra of “the more screening, the better” for reducing deaths from breast cancer took another hit with the latest study on mammography from Canada. Mammograms Don't Help Save Lives 2014-02-12T17:20:25Z The findings will not lead to any immediate change in guidelines for mammography, and many advocates and experts will almost certainly dispute the idea that mammograms are on balance useless, or even harmful. Study Adds New Doubts About Value of Mammograms 2014-02-11T23:44:31Z Given the debate over mammography, you would think that scientists would be taking a harder look at alternatives. The Consumer: A Fresh Case for Breast Self-Exams 2014-02-17T22:17:00Z "But this is not unique to mammography, or women," he said. Decision aids reduce mammograms among older women 2013-12-30T21:13:37Z Instead, the study "found no reduction in breast cancer mortality from mammography screening," the scientists wrote, "neither in women aged 40-49 at study entry nor in women aged 50-59." New study adds to evidence that mammograms do not save lives 2014-02-12T17:46:48Z Sometimes, it is because they do not have health insurance, so Ms. Dickens refers them to free mammography programs in the area. The Cancer Divide: Tackling a Racial Gap in Breast Cancer Survival 2013-12-20T06:08:12Z Dr. Wender added that while improved treatments clearly helped lower the breast cancer death rate, so did mammography, by catching cancers early. Study Adds New Doubts About Value of Mammograms 2014-02-11T23:44:31Z Last year, it agreed a partnership with Abu Dhabi's new, 196-bed Burjeel Hospital to supply, install, maintain and upgrade medical equipment including MRI and CT scanners, digital mammography units and ultrasound machines. Insight: Philips restores profit by rediscovering relevance 2013-12-12T05:05:15Z But the data of Welch and others suggest that groups like the Komen foundation and the National Football League, however well-meaning, may be harming more women than they help by aggressively promoting mammography. ABC Reporter, National Football League Promote Mammograms While Experts Question Benefits 2013-11-13T15:45:13.687Z This represents one over-diagnosed breast cancer for every 424 women who received mammography screening, calculate the researchers, who were led by epidemiologist Anthony Miller of the University of Toronto. New study adds to evidence that mammograms do not save lives 2014-02-12T17:46:48Z Their doctors and radiologists become even more convinced that mammography saves lives. I’m just saying no to mammography: Why the numbers are in my favor 2013-10-07T20:45:44Z Dr. Kalager, whose editorial accompanying the study was titled “Too Much Mammography,” compared mammography to prostate-specific antigen screening for prostate cancer, using data from pooled analyses of clinical trials. Study Adds New Doubts About Value of Mammograms 2014-02-11T23:44:31Z Some observers also believe that the backlash against the USPSTF’s mammography guidelines prompted the NIH and public officials to avoid making controversial recommendations.

Study Adds New Doubts About Value of Mammograms 2014-02-11T23:44:31Z "For younger women," Pace said, "the decision to undertake mammography screening is one that is not necessarily taken lightly." New guidelines did not change mammography rates 2013-04-25T15:53:59Z "Once we see their breast density is high, we will offer annual mammography," she said. Less frequent mammograms don't increase risks after age 50 : study 2013-03-19T00:02:57Z Women who undergo mammography receive letters describing the exam’s results. Post-mammogram letters often confuse more than they they help 2013-02-26T00:08:09Z Her D.C.I.S., a condition detected almost exclusively through mammography, quite likely never would become life-threatening, yet it transformed her into a cancer survivor, subjecting her to surgery and weeks of even more radiation. Our Feel-Good War on Breast Cancer 2013-04-27T01:21:08Z “The mammography story is just not such an easy story,” said Dr. Juni, a clinical epidemiologist at the University of Bern. Study Adds New Doubts About Value of Mammograms 2014-02-11T23:44:31Z "I think it is a bit more likely that physicians continue to recommend mammography without necessarily discussing the specifics of what the science tells us," said LeFevre, who wasn't involved in the new study. New guidelines did not change mammography rates 2013-04-25T15:53:59Z The study used data from the Breast Cancer Surveillance Consortium, a national mammography screening database that gathers information from community mammography clinics on millions of women.

Mass. health reform hasn't boosted mammography rates 2012-08-09T19:53:01Z But a study published Monday in the Annals of Internal Medicine adds to a growing body of evidence that the potential risks of routine breast-cancer screening via mammography might in fact outweigh such screening’s benefits. The downside of mammography 2012-04-02T21:00:00Z Instead it simply tells women to be screened, overstates the benefit of mammography, and ignores harms altogether,” they write. Komen Overstated Mammogram Benefits, Researchers Say 2012-08-03T19:05:31Z For years, women were advised to start mammography screening at 40; then, in 2009, the United States Preventive Services Task Force raised the recommended age to 50 — and specified every two years, rather than annually. Well: The Annual Doctor Visit Loses Some Relevance 2012-03-19T20:43:01Z Because mammography, prostate-specific antigen levels and all other initial testing for common cancers are merely screening tests, no patient ever receives definitive treatment for cancer before these tests are confirmed by a biopsy. Readers Respond to "The Coming Mega Drought" and Other Articles 2012-04-20T16:15:03.217Z In explaining its initial decision to stop funding Planned Parenthood's mammography programs, Komen said it wanted to support groups that provide that screening rather than, as Planned Parenthood does, offer referrals for it. Insight: Komen charity under microscope for funding, science 2012-02-08T17:21:30Z The editorial urges that women faced with the prospect of mammography be fully informed as to both the potential risks and the likely benefits of such screening. The downside of mammography 2012-04-02T21:00:00Z For every life saved by mammography, around two to 10 women are overdiagnosed. Komen Overstated Mammogram Benefits, Researchers Say 2012-08-03T19:05:31Z But decades later, the success rate of screening remains nearly the same, even with much better imaging: routine mammography screening results in a 15- to 20-percent decrease in mortality in women over age 50. Essay: Breast Cancer Screening Matters, but Prevention Is the Real Goal 2012-02-06T22:39:10Z In fact, Stage 0 was almost never detected before the advent of mammography screening. Essay: Cancer by Any Other Name Would Not Be as Terrifying 2011-11-21T18:48:42Z The task force is part of the same advisory system that earlier this year said mammography does not benefit women under the age of 50. Imperfect prostate cancer test leaves men with tough choice 2011-11-14T18:25:27Z The American College of Radiology, in a position statement, said that it recognizes that greater breast density leads to lower sensitivity for mammography. Doctor tells FDA to change rules; says mammogram won't spot cancer in some 2011-11-09T18:22:03Z In the latest study, Welch and colleagues looked to see how much mammography reduces deaths from breast cancer. Mammograms don't save as many lives as women think 2011-10-24T22:10:38Z Dr. Welch notes that clearly some women are helped by mammography screening, but the numbers are lower than most people think.

Crowdsourcing a Cure for Breast Cancer - $100 million and Game on at GE 2011-10-23T10:49:30Z And if you think mammography is the best answer at the moment, that, again, is the Komen mantra. In the Breast Cancer Fight, the Pinking of America 2011-10-15T19:15:32Z "Educating patients directly about the risks of dense tissue and the limits of mammography is imperative," she said. Doctor tells FDA to change rules; says mammogram won't spot cancer in some 2011-11-09T18:22:03Z Larsson and her colleagues, whose findings appear in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, tapped into data from a mammography study that included self-reports of how much chocolate women ate in 1997.

Can Cancer Ever Be Ignored? 2011-10-09T02:37:22Z But after the firestorm over its advice on mammography, Dr. LeFevre said he deliberately slowed down the process. U.S. Panel?s Advice on Prostate Test Draws Opposition 2011-10-08T03:30:29Z But he agrees that many women wrongly attribute their survival after cancer to early detection as a result of mammography. Well: The Limits of Breast Cancer Screening 2011-10-24T20:01:29Z "I am keeping a globally distributed executive team," she said, with basic radiology and fluoroscopy to be based in Beijing, the bone mineral density business in Wisconsin, and mammography in Buc, outside Paris, France. GE moving top X-ray executives to China 2011-07-25T15:50:42Z He says advocacy groups, including his own, should be more cautious in explaining that mammography has limitations even as they promote screening as an important tool. In the Breast Cancer Fight, the Pinking of America 2011-10-15T19:15:32Z "The benefits of mammography are going to depend a lot on what your underlying risk is, and the current guidelines look only at age," Schousboe told Reuters Health. Fewer mammograms needed for low-risk women: study 2011-07-06T22:28:47Z But for women ages 50 to 79 with low breast density and no other risk factors, mammography every three to four years was cost-effective. Breast-cancer screening guidelines should reflect risk factors, study says 2011-07-05T04:49:04Z It also raises questions about whether there are better uses for the hundreds of millions of dollars spent on awareness campaigns and the $5 billion spent annually on mammography screening. Well: The Limits of Breast Cancer Screening 2011-10-24T20:01:29Z Breast cancer screening with mammography is a controversial area, with medical groups differing in their recommendations on when and how often women should be screened.

Benefit of mammograms even greater than thought 2011-06-28T05:35:57Z Schousboe said that while recommendations are helpful in guiding mammography timelines, they should be flexible to accommodate the values and desires of individuals. Fewer mammograms needed for low-risk women: study 2011-07-06T22:28:47Z "The most important controversy is whether to start mammography at age 40 or not," Cummings said. Breast-cancer screening guidelines should reflect risk factors, study says 2011-07-05T04:49:04Z But in the 2011 pilot study by Rhodes’ team, they found molecular imaging was three times better than mammography at revealing these hard to find tumors. Lindau Nobel Meeting--The Cross-Pollination of Ideas 2011-06-24T17:15:05.837Z So why would so many doctors recommend mammography screening to terminally ill women? Doctors encourage mammograms in dying patients 2011-06-29T19:33:36Z With breast cancer, a debate rages over when women with no risk factors should begin mammography. Can Free Markets Solve the Food Crisis? 2011-05-19T00:35:00Z The controversy over screening mammography flared up in late 2009, when a government-funded group of independent experts decided to change its recommendations. New breast cancer guidelines "unsafe": women 2011-05-27T21:21:58Z His organization promotes mammography in an effort to reduce the 40,000 deaths from breast cancer every year in the U.S. Beyond Mammograms: Research Aims to Improve Breast Cancer Screening 2011-05-10T11:45:00.237Z It is unlikely to impact thyroid cancer, and the benefits of mammography clearly outweigh any risks. The Big Picture (2 Letters) 2011-05-02T22:15:11Z Yet in the new study, researchers found that nearly half of U.S. primary care doctors said they would recommend mammography screening to a hypothetical patient with inoperable lung cancer. Doctors encourage mammograms in dying patients 2011-06-29T19:33:36Z The fact that thyroid cancer increased in all age groups from 2000 to 2008, Dr. Brawley said, “is more consistent with the introduction of new diagnostic technology than with any cause like mammography.” Personal Health: Thyroid Fears Aside, That X-Ray?s Worth It 2011-04-25T18:20:42Z Mor notes that many tests, such as mammography, have been offered to patients as an aid to diagnosis even while data on the test are being collected.

Beyond Mammograms: Research Aims to Improve Breast Cancer Screening 2011-05-10T11:45:00.237Z Some experts credit mammography screening for up to half the decline; others credit it less, or not at all. Well: After a Diagnosis, Wishing for a Magic Number 2011-03-21T20:23:01Z Leach's team based their findings on a national survey of 1,200 primary care doctors who were presented with several hypothetical patients and asked whether they would recommend mammography screening. Doctors encourage mammograms in dying patients 2011-06-29T19:33:36Z If mammography were a factor in the rise of thyroid cancer, he added, you’d expect to see a greater rise in women older than 50 than in women ages 20 to 40. Personal Health: Thyroid Fears Aside, That X-Ray?s Worth It 2011-04-25T18:20:42Z If these women were finding such cancers, they would count as being missed by mammography, lowering the sensitivity of the screen. Mammograms: Less Effective for Cancer Survivors? 2011-02-24T19:16:39Z Medical societies and patient advocacy groups attacked the recommendation; the American Cancer Society still advises women in their 40s to undergo mammography every year. Beyond Mammograms: Research Aims to Improve Breast Cancer Screening 2011-05-10T11:45:00.237Z In evaluating the equipment, the FDA reviewed results from two studies in which radiologists were asked to review 2-D and 3-D images from more than 300 mammography exams. 3-D mammography device OK'd by FDA 2011-02-12T00:38:04Z Leach said that more studies are needed to see how often screening mammography is actually recommended and performed in terminally ill women. Doctors encourage mammograms in dying patients 2011-06-29T19:33:36Z I believe mammography does help some women avoid a breast cancer death, but it's rare. Insuring your health: Book argues against unnecessary medical intervention 2011-02-07T23:03:02Z In fact, the findings highlight the fact that mammography may be missing some intervening cancers, which suggests the need for closer evaluation of breast tissue in this population. Mammograms: Less Effective for Cancer Survivors? 2011-02-24T19:16:39Z A year ago, when a federal task force issued new guidelines relaxing the recommendations for mammography screening, Dr. Weiss was one of their fiercest critics. A Doctor?s Mammogram Mission Turns Personal 2010-12-20T20:57:49Z If the Internet buzz about a pain-free, radiation-free alternative to mammography sounds too good to be true, there's a reason for that. Beware the hype on breast thermography 2010-12-06T16:27:00Z "There are some tumors that don't show up on mammography as well as they do on MRI," he explained. Women With Breast Cancer History Should Consider MRI: Study 2010-11-29T14:00:00Z "Tens of thousands of lives are being saved by mammography screening, and these idiots want to do away with it," said Daniel B. Kopans, a radiology professor at Harvard Medical School. Federal panel recommends reducing number of mammograms 2009-11-17T05:00:00Z "Indeed, I would be very surprised if any private insurance company changed its mammography coverage decisions as a result of this action." White House backs off cancer test guidelines 2009-11-19T05:00:00Z “Most people think mammography is much more beneficial than it actually is,” said Dr. Otis Brawley, the society’s chief medical officer. A Doctor?s Mammogram Mission Turns Personal 2010-12-20T20:57:49Z Last year the Oregon attorney general shut down a troubled health clinic, accusing it, in part, of misrepresenting thermography as superior to mammography for breast cancer screening. Beware the hype on breast thermography 2010-12-06T16:27:00Z Preventive Services Task Force, the federally appointed panel that issued the new mammography guidelines. Fierce debate raging over new cancer test guidelines 2009-11-22T05:00:00Z Long controversy The change is the latest development in a long controversy about mammography. Federal panel recommends reducing number of mammograms 2009-11-17T05:00:00Z Public health expert and breast cancer survivor puts mammography guidelines in perspective Last week, the U.S. Public health expert and breast cancer survivor puts new mammography guidelines in perspective 2009-11-23T17:05:00Z There are already some indications that primary-care doctors are cutting back on mammography referrals. A Doctor?s Mammogram Mission Turns Personal 2010-12-20T20:57:49Z "We have learned from the long-term analysis of other screening tests, such as mammography, that it is important to consider both benefit and harms associated with the test." Study: CT scans reduce lung cancer deaths by 20% compared with X-rays 2010-11-05T02:52:00Z Those recommendations, although somewhat less controversial than the new mammography guidelines, remain the subject of debate. Fierce debate raging over new cancer test guidelines 2009-11-22T05:00:00Z Equally troubling is the relentless promotion of screening mammography as the solution. Breast cancer can we be too aware? 2010-10-22T21:03:00Z Preventive Services Task Force published new mammography guidelines which recommended against routine mammography screening for women in their 40s and less-frequent screening for older women at average risk of developing breast cancer. Public health expert and breast cancer survivor puts new mammography guidelines in perspective 2009-11-23T17:05:00Z But even while the debate continues over the value of mammography in younger women, Brawley said, "Let's also remember that one-third of women in their 50s and 60s don't get screened." Latest Findings Back Mammograms for Women in Their 40s 2010-10-15T13:00:00Z I was impressed by how plainly and intelligently Love, a breast surgeon, presented the research findings about mammography. Nurse practitioner explains why she refuses to endorse routine mammography 2010-10-11T21:03:00Z But after the recommendations unleashed fierce criticism, controversy and debate, the administration appeared to quickly distance itself from the mammography guidelines to try to prevent the uproar from endangering a domestic priority. Fierce debate raging over new cancer test guidelines 2009-11-22T05:00:00Z There is a serious debate about the value of screening mammography. Breast cancer can we be too aware? 2010-10-22T21:03:00Z This is compounded by the fact that because of the confusing terminology doctors and researchers use, many people incorrectly believe that mammography prevents breast cancer. Public health expert and breast cancer survivor puts new mammography guidelines in perspective 2009-11-23T17:05:00Z They specifically scanned for prescriptions on hormone replacement therapy, breast cancer incidence, mammography rates and women's self-reported use of hormone replacement therapy. Breast cancer rates fell with hormone therapy drop 2010-09-23T20:20:00Z They verified the benefit of mammography screening - for a few women, at a significant cost in unnecessary follow-up and treatment for hundreds of others. Nurse practitioner explains why she refuses to endorse routine mammography 2010-10-11T21:03:00Z But, along with the American College of Radiologists and others, the group has condemned the new mammography guidelines. Fierce debate raging over new cancer test guidelines 2009-11-22T05:00:00Z That the debate persists in the face of this wealth of data tells you something: Screening mammography must be a close call. Breast cancer can we be too aware? 2010-10-22T21:03:00Z But mammography doesn't prevent breast cancer, it merely detects it. Public health expert and breast cancer survivor puts new mammography guidelines in perspective 2009-11-23T17:05:00Z During the period covered by the study, the death rate among women older than 70 — who did not undergo mammography but received the same care as younger women — dropped by 8 percent. Study: Routine mammograms of limited help in reducing breast-cancer deaths 2010-09-23T00:34:00Z The study, medical experts say, is the first to assess the benefit of mammography in the context of the modern era of breast cancer treatment. Mammograms? Value in Cancer Fight at Issue in Study 2010-09-22T22:48:00Z Many doctors and patients remain skeptical about the mammography, cervical cancer and prostate cancer guidelines, finding it difficult to accept that early diagnosis and treatment do not save lives. Fierce debate raging over new cancer test guidelines 2009-11-22T05:00:00Z The reason screening mammography is a close call is simple: It produces both benefit and harm. Breast cancer can we be too aware? 2010-10-22T21:03:00Z Is mammography the best way to screen for breast cancer? Public health expert and breast cancer survivor puts new mammography guidelines in perspective 2009-11-23T17:05:00Z But, he noted, "It is quite plausible that screening mammography was more effective in the past than it is now." Study: Routine mammograms of limited help in reducing breast-cancer deaths 2010-09-23T00:34:00Z Dr. Carol Lee, a radiologist at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and chairwoman of the breast imaging commission of the American College of Radiology, said the new study affirmed that mammography saves lives. Mammograms? Value in Cancer Fight at Issue in Study 2010-09-22T22:48:00Z The mammography debate is unlikely to end anytime soon, and similar clashes are likely to ensue, regardless of what Congress does. Fierce debate raging over new cancer test guidelines 2009-11-22T05:00:00Z Screening mammography is your decision, not your physician's. Breast cancer can we be too aware? 2010-10-22T21:03:00Z The research, published in Thursday's New England Journal of Medicine, is the latest to show that the benefits of mammography are limited. Study finds mammograms offer modest benefit 2010-09-22T21:05:00Z As more tumors are discovered earlier because of increased awareness and more effective treatments are employed, Gilbert said, mammography becomes less valuable. Study: Routine mammograms of limited help in reducing breast-cancer deaths 2010-09-23T00:34:00Z The mobile clinics are largely nonprofit and most provide general medical care, though smaller numbers specialize in dentistry or mammography. Mobile clinics seen as way to cut health bill 2010-08-11T19:47:00Z In the less-populated West-Central states, with fewer mammography clinics, the rates were lower. Vital Signs: Screening: Gaps Found in Breast Cancer Testing 2010-07-19T20:30:00Z Unlike screening mammography, there's no debate about diagnostic mammography. Breast cancer can we be too aware? 2010-10-22T21:03:00Z Groups including the American Diabetes Association and General Electric, which manufactures equipment for mammography, also lobbied Congress on task force issues. Health lobbyists focus on a once-obscure group 2010-07-15T04:00:00Z She helped lead a study, reported last week, that found mammography is increasing diagnoses of tumors deemed genetically very low risk. Overtreating earliest cancers _ but which ones? 2010-06-15T06:16:00Z She knew she'd get her mother's mammography films early, study them and be able to deliver the annual clean bill of health. A physician diagnoses her own mother with breast cancer 2010-05-31T04:01:00Z The C.D.C. examined mammography rates only among women ages 50 to 74. Vital Signs: Screening: Gaps Found in Breast Cancer Testing 2010-07-19T20:30:00Z In the study of more than 117,000 women ages 18 to 39, researchers found that mammography often detects lesions that are not cancerous, but require follow-up testing. Health Buzz: Mammograms Pointless in Women Under 40? 2010-05-04T19:11:00Z In response to the backlash over the mammography recommendation and other calls for transparency, the task force recently adopted a new policy of accepting public comment before finalizing its recommendations. Health lobbyists focus on a once-obscure group 2010-07-15T04:00:00Z The study also determined that when D.C.I.S. is detected by breast exam rather than by mammography, the woman is also at higher risk for developing an invasive breast cancer within five to eight years. Study Gives Clues About Treatment for Early Breast Cancer 2010-04-29T00:19:00Z With increased use of mammography, the diagnosis of D.C.I.S. is on the rise, yet most of these women are at low risk of ever developing an invasive cancer. Clues for Personalizing Breast Cancer Treatment 2010-04-28T20:00:00Z The differences between traditional and digital mammography are similar to the differences between traditional and digital photography, writes physician Deborah Armstrong, Health Advice expert in medical oncology. Health Buzz: Influenza Expert Says WHO May Have Caused Swine Flu Confusion 2010-04-12T20:55:00Z The differences between traditional and digital mammography are similar to the differences between traditional and digital photography. Are Digital Mammograms Better Than the Conventional Kind? 2010-04-09T21:52:00Z Increased mammography should only detect *more* cancer, not less, I would think. Why Are Breast Cancer Rates Dropping? 2010-03-01T14:31:00Z The panel concluded that for most women, the false alarms, anxiety, unnecessary treatment and other harms of more-frequent mammography outweighed the benefits. 2009-12-20T05:00:00Z And eight states allow therapists to perform medical imaging other than mammography with no credentials or educational requirements. 2010-02-05T02:32:00Z So General Electric is participating in a $5 million program to do mammography screenings for 10,000 women a year in Sichuan Province, supplying its machines to three hospitals. 2010-01-21T16:00:00Z It is for those reasons that experts generally advise against routine mammography for elderly women in poor health and a limited life expectancy. 2010-01-29T20:52:00Z The good news is that "only" 18 percent of the women with severe dementia received screening mammography, compared with 45 percent of women with normal cognitive status. 2010-01-19T14:53:00Z The same is true for other screening tasks, Wolfe said, like mammography screening for breast cancer. 2010-01-14T21:26:00Z M.R.I. screening is often recommended for those at high or intermediate risk for breast cancer, as some tumors may be missed by mammography and ultrasound screening. 2010-01-05T06:04:00Z Since elderly patients with dementia generally live less than five years, the scientists write, they "are unlikely to benefit from screening mammography," and are more likely to "experience harm." 2010-01-19T14:53:00Z |
