Breast ultrasound in breast cancer surveillance; incremental cancers found at what cost?
2020, BreastCitation Excerpt :The decreased sensitivity in both mammography and US found in this study suggests under performance of these modalities in breast cancer surveillance. There is contention in regarding the classification of interval cancers as false negatives, as previous studies have indicated only a percentage of interval cancers are true false negatives [17,18]. In comparison of BIRADS and RANZCR reporting, category 3 lesions differ greatly, as BIRADS suggests a malignancy potential of <2%, probably benign in comparison to an “indeterminate” finding [19].,
Use of previous screening mammograms to identify features indicating cases that would have a possible gain in prognosis following earlier detection
2003, European Journal of CancerCitation Excerpt :In the last decade, many studies have tried to classify and describe characteristics of cancers that could have been detected at screening. Most studies focused on the review of interval cancers [3,7,9–11,13,24], but several studies also recognised the importance of rereading screen-detected or ‘incident round’ cancers, usually considered to be ‘true-positive’ [5,15–17,19–21]. In most review studies, researchers have attempted to distinguish between lesions that were overlooked or misinterpreted and lesions where the mammogram showed minimal or unusual lesion characteristics, the so-called ‘minimal signs’ [5,9,10,12,13,20,21,24].
