Course Description
Debate continues regarding the optimal frequency for screening mammography. In this analysis of national data on screening mammography, investigators estimated the cumulative probability of false-positive recall and biopsy recommendation after 10 years of annual or biennial screening. They found that a high proportion of women had false-positive results with a need for additional imaging. Biennial screening reduced false-positive results but was associated with a small, statistically insignificant increase in diagnoses of late-stage breast cancer.
