Earlier breast screening shows mortality benefit
By Theresa Pablos
Starting breast cancer screening when women are in their 40s cut the risk of death by 25% at 10 years of follow-up, according to the findings of a study published August 12 in the Lancet Oncology. But the benefits of earlier screening were not statistically significant at later follow-up points.

Dense breast group touts new research study
By AuntMinnie.com staff writers
Knowledge gaps about breast density, breast cancer risk assessment, and screening exist among radiologic technologists and radiologists, according to new research conducted by advocacy group DenseBreast-Info.org. The group said continued education efforts may improve appropriate breast cancer screening recommendations.

Is DBT cost-effective? It depends on where you live
By Theresa Pablos
Whether digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) is more effective than digital mammography for breast screening may depend on the country. An August 4 study in Radiology found that DBT was largely cost-effective at a threshold of $38,500 per life-year gained -- but not at $20,000 per life-year gained.
