Self-reported Pain Associated With Screening With Digital Breast Tomosynthesis
Suhaimi, Mohamed, Ahmad, Chelliah
“Reduced compression force in DBT reduces anxiety and pain levels without compromising image quality.”
Breast compression and reported pain during mammographic screening
Moshina, Sagstad, Sebuødegård, Waade, Gran, Music, Hofvind
“Mean score of experienced pain was 2.2, whereas 6% of the women reported severe pain (≥7) during the examination. High body mass index (BMI) (≥27.3 kg/m2) was associated with a higher RR of pain scores ≥7 (RR 1.86, 95%CI 1.02-3.36) compared to medium BMI (23.7-27.2 kg/m2).”
Comparing Screening Outcomes for Digital Breast Tomosynthesis and Digital Mammography by Automated Breast Density in a Randomized Controlled Trial: Results from the To-Be Trial
Moshina, Aase, Danielsen, Haldorsen, Lee, Zackrisson, Hofvind
“Screening with digital breast tomosynthesis combined with synthetic two-dimensional mammograms (DBT+SM) versus digital mammography (DM) yielded lower recall rates for women with Volpara Density Grade (VDG) 1 and VDG 2. Adjusted relative risk of recall and screen-detected breast cancer increased with denser breasts for DBT+SM but not for DM.”
Breast compression and experienced pain during mammography by use of three different compression paddles
Moshina, Sebuødegård, Evensen, Hantho, Iden, Hofvind
“The mean of experienced pain did not differ for the study and flexible paddle (2.5 on NRS), and was lower for the study paddle compared to the fixed paddle (2.4 versus 2.6 on NRS, p < 0.05) .. The majority of women reported low scores of experienced pain during mammography, independent of compression paddle used.”
The impact of compression force and pressure at prevalent screening on subsequent re-attendance in a national screening program
Moshina, Sebuødegård, Holen, Waade, Tsuruda, Hofvind
“Overall, 27,197 (87.1%) women re-attended the program. Re-attendance was highest for women who received a compression force of 10.0–13.9 kg (87.5%) or pressure of 9.0–17.9 kPa (87.8%) and lowest for those who received a compression force of < 10.0 kg (85.0%) or pressure of < 9.0 kPa (84.7%).”
Automated Volumetric Analysis of Mammographic Density in a Screening Setting: Worse Outcomes for Women with Dense Breasts
Moshina, Sebuødegård, Lee, Akslen, Tsuruda, Elmore, Hofvind
“Screening examinations of women with dense breasts classified by using automated software resulted in higher recall rate, lower sensitivity, larger tumor diameter, and more lymph node–positive disease compared with women with nondense breasts.”
Is breast compression associated with breast cancer detection and other early performance measures in a population-based breast cancer screening program?
Moshina, Sebuødegård, Hofvind
“High compression force and low compression pressure were associated with more favorable early performance measures in the screening program.”
A new method to optimize resection area using a radiation treatment planning system and deformable image registration for breast conserving surgery after neoadjuvant chemotherapy
Miyoshi, Yamaguchi, Fujimoto, Yoshioka, Shiobara, Wakatsuki, Suda, Miyazawa, Aida, Watanabe, Otsuka
“We devised a breast-conserving surgery (BCS) utilizing a new image-processing and projection technique using a radiation treatment planning system (RTPS) and deformable image registration (DIR) for patients with breast cancer after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC).”
Can Dietary and Physical Activity Modifications Reduce Breast Density in Postmenopausal Women? The DAMA Study, a Randomized Intervention Trial in Italy
Masala, Assedi, Sera, Ermini, Occhini, Castaldo, Pierpaoli, Caini, Bendinelli, Ambrogetti, Palli
“This intervention trial suggests that a 24-month dietary or PA intervention may reduce MBD in postmenopausal women.”
Effect of excessive gestational weight on daughters’ breast density at the end of puberty onset
López, Garmendia, Shepherd, Michels, Corvalán, Pereira
“Daughters of women who had EGWG had higher levels of AFGV (OR: 2.02; 95%CI 1.16–3.53) at Tanner B4, which could be explained by metabolic and hormonal exposure in utero.”
