By Kate Madden Yee
Could digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) tip the balance in favor of mammography screening for women in their 40s by increasing screening's benefits (cancer detection) and reducing its harms (recalls and false positives)? That's exactly what's proposed in a study published August 20 in Breast Cancer Research and Treatment.
