Tomosynthesis Is Taking Small Steps to Become the Standard for Breast Cancer Screening
Menée en Suède auprès de 14 848 femmes ayant bénéficié d'un examen de dépistage du cancer du sein entre 2010 et 2015, cette étude compare l'efficacité, du point de vue du taux de cancers de l'intervalle, d'une tomosynthèse et d'une mammographie numérique
Breast cancer that is detected early does not have an impact on life expectancy. Therefore, the goal of screening is to detect breast cancers early. Because mammographic screening has unequivocally led to a reduction of breast cancer—specific mortality, the screening paradigm works. Earlier untimely deaths are prevented when relevant cancers are detected.
