PURPOSE To (a) determine the performance of screening mammography, ultrasonography (US), and physical examination (PE); (b) analyze the influence of age, hormonal status, and breast density; (c) compare the size and stage of tumors detected with each modality; and (d) determine which modality or combination of modalities optimize cancer detection. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 11,130 asymptomatic women underwent 27,825 screening sessions, (mammography and subsequent PE). Women with dense…

A Comparison of Mammography and Ultrasound in Women with Breast Disease: A Receiver Operating Characteristic Analysis
TLDR
Sonography had better sensitivity and diagnostic accuracy than mammography for diagnosing breast diseases, while their specificities were similar.
Combined performance of physical examination, mammography, and ultrasonography for breast cancer screening among Chinese women: a follow-up study.
TLDR
Taking limited health resources into consideration, the strategy of screening with us alone at the first stage, followed by mam when indicated, may optimize breast cancer detection in most regions of China.
Diagnostic accuracy of mammography, clinical examination, US, and MR imaging in preoperative assessment of breast cancer.
TLDR
In nonfatty breasts, US and MR imaging were more sensitive than mammography for invasive cancer, but both MR imaging and US involved risk of overestimation of tumor extent.
Cancer yield of mammography, MR, and US in high-risk women: prospective multi-institution breast cancer screening study.
TLDR
Screening MR imaging had a higher biopsy rate but helped detect more cancers than either mammography or US, and US had the highest false-negative rate compared with mammography and MR.
Influence of Risk Category and Screening Round on the Performance of an MR Imaging and Mammography Screening Program in Carriers of the BRCA Mutation and Other Women at Increased Risk.
TLDR
Screening performance was dependent on risk category and sensitivity was lowest in carriers of the BRCA1 mutation, while the specificity of high-risk breast screening improved at follow-up rounds.
Influence of additional breast ultrasound on cancer detection in a cohort study for quality assurance in breast diagnosis—analysis of 102,577 diagnostic procedures
TLDR
The addition of US to mammography vs. mammography alone resulted in a significant increase in breast cancer detection rate, and in the group with ACR III/IV, 15.9% of cancers were found by supplemental US compared with Mammography alone.
Sonographic characteristics of breast cancers detected by supplemental screening US: Comparison with breast cancers seen on screening mammography
TLDR
Compared with breast cancers seen on screening mammography, breast cancers detected by supplemental screening US tend to have less malignant US features, although most (95%) of them were classified as category 4 or 5.
Screening Ultrasound in Women with Negative Mammography: Outcome Analysis
TLDR
Screening US detected 4.6 additional cancers among 1000, which is in lower bound of acceptable range of mammography (5-12%), according to American College of Radiology standard.
Contrast-Enhanced Spectral Mammography in Women With Intermediate Breast Cancer Risk and Dense Breasts.
TLDR
CESM was significantly more sensitive than standard digital mammography for detecting breast cancer in this screening population and may be a valuable supplemental screening modality for women at intermediate risk who have dense breasts.
Effect of adding screening ultrasonography to screening mammography on patient recall and cancer detection rates: a retrospective study in Japan.

Occult cancer in women with dense breasts: detection with screening US--diagnostic yield and tumor characteristics.
TLDR
Screening US can depict small, early-stage, otherwise occult cancers similar in size and stage to mammographically identified nonpalpable cancers and smaller and lower in stage than palpable cancers in dense breasts.
Clinical utility of bilateral whole-breast US in the evaluation of women with dense breast tissue.
TLDR
Bilateral whole-breast US, when performed in patients with dense (BI-RADS category 3 or 4 density) breast tissue, is useful in detecting breast cancer not discovered with mammography or clinical breast examination.
Physical examination. Its role as a single screening modality in the Canadian national breast screening study
TLDR
The results support the conclusion that physical examination of the breasts by trained nurses is a useful component in screening for breast cancer.
Breast tumor characteristics as predictors of mammographic detection: comparison of interval- and screen-detected cancers.
TLDR
It is indicated that screening mammography may miss tumors of lobular or mucinous histology and some rapidly proliferating, high-grade tumors.
Effect of age, breast density, and family history on the sensitivity of first screening mammography.
TLDR
The sensitivity of modern mammography is highest among women aged 50 years and older who have primarily fatty breast density and particularly low when the time between screenings is about 2 years or when women have a family history of breast cancer.
Analysis of cancers missed at screening mammography.
TLDR
Analysis of 320 cancers found in a screened population between August 1985 and May 1990 revealed 77 cancers that were "missed" at screening mammography, which occurred in women with denser breasts, were less likely to demonstrate malignant microcalcifications, and were more likely to demonstrating a developing opacity as an indication of cancer.
Effects of age, breast density, ethnicity, and estrogen replacement therapy on screening mammographic sensitivity and cancer stage at diagnosis: review of 183,134 screening mammograms in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
TLDR
Age is a minor determinant of mammographic sensitivity in women aged 40 years or older and sensitivity is substantially decreased with the combination of higher breast density and estrogen replacement therapy use, and there was not a notable shift in cancer outcomes in the groups with lower mammography sensitivity.
Findings from 752,081 clinical breast examinations reported to a national screening program from 1995 through 1998.
TLDR
CBEs performed in community-based screening programs can detect breast cancers as effectively as CBEs performed in clinical trials and may modestly improve early-detection campaigns.
Breast density as a predictor of mammographic detection: comparison of interval- and screen-detected cancers.
TLDR
Mammographic breast density appears to be a major risk factor for interval cancer in women participating in mammographic screening from 1988 through 1993.
Incidental findings on sonography of the breast: clinical significance and diagnostic workup.
TLDR
The use of high-resolution sonography as an adjunct to mammography in women with dense breasts may lead to detection of a significant number of otherwise occult malignancies that are no different in size from nonpalpable mammographically detected lesions.
