DBT reduces callbacks, boosts cancer detection
By Kate Madden Yee
Monday, November 26 | 12:45 p.m.-1:15 p.m. | LL-BRS-MO8B | Lakeside Learning CenterThe first five months of using digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) in a screening practice showed a small reduction in the overall callback rate and a small increase in the cancer detection rate; however, these results were not statistically significant, according to researchers from the University of Pennsylvania.

ABUS plus mammography finds cancer early in women with dense tissue
By Kate Madden Yee
Sunday, November 25 | 11:05 a.m.-11:15 a.m. | SSA01-03 | Arie Crown TheaterScreening with automated breast ultrasound (ABUS) -- as an adjunct to digital mammography -- detects early-stage, node-negative invasive carcinoma in asymptomatic women with dense breast tissue, according to researchers from George Washington University Medical Center. And finding these cancers could reduce breast cancer mortality rates.
