The study, published in The Lancet Oncology, is the first ever assessment of the effect of cancer screening in rural sub-Saharan Africa, and the authors are hopeful that their work, which is on-going, will ultimately show that the increase in early detection of breast cancer results in improved long-term survival chances for women who are screened. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2013-01-local-volunteers-early-breast-cancer.html Cancer Wed, 30 Jan 2013 18:30:02 EST news278789730 (HealthDay)—Three-dimensional stereoscopic digital mammography (DM) significantly improves the specificity and accuracy of breast cancer detection, with a lower patient recall rate and a sensitivity comparable to that of standard DM in a high-risk population, according to research published in the January issue of Radiology. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2013-01-specificity-stereoscopic-mammography-ca.html Cancer Fri, 18 Jan 2013 13:40:01 EST news277736426 Ultrasound screening could be a more affordable and convenient way to detect early breast cancers in women, especially for those in countries where there is little access to mammograms, according to University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine research presented today at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America in Chicago. These results are a component of a multinational study that looked at ultrasound as an adjunct to screening mammography. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2012-11-ultrasound-accessible-breast-cancer-screening.html Cancer Tue, 27 Nov 2012 07:33:34 EST news273223991 Water diffusion measurements with MRI could decrease false-positive breast cancer results and reduce preventable biopsies, according to a new study published online in the journal Radiology. Researchers said the technique also could improve patient management by differentiating high-risk lesions requiring additional workup from other non-malignant subtypes. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2012-10-mri-technique-breast-biopsies.html Cancer Tue, 02 Oct 2012 00:00:09 EST news268330126
