OBJECTIVE The objective of our study was to review screening mammography examinations performed at our institution from 2007 through 2010 with the primary endpoint of determining the incidence of breast cancer and associated histologic and prognostic features in women in their 40s. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients who presented for screening mammography who ultimately (i.e., after additional imaging, including diagnostic mammographic views and ultrasound) received a BI-RADS assessment of a…

Screening Mammography for Women in Their 40s: The Potential Impact of the American Cancer Society and U.S. Preventive Services Task Force Breast Cancer Screening Recommendations.
TLDR
The two cohorts (40-44 and 45-49 years old) had similar incidences of screen-detected breast cancer and cancer detection rates within performance benchmark standards, supporting a similar recommendation for both cohorts and the American College of Radiology recommendation of annual screening mammography starting at age 40.
Annual screening mammography for breast cancer in women 75 years old or older: to screen or not to screen.
TLDR
Although women 75 years or older accounted for less than 10% of the total screening population during the study time period, the breast cancer detection rate in this cohort was 5.9 per 1000 screening examinations, which is compatible with the American College of Radiology's recommendations, and most of these breast cancers were invasive.
Retrospective Review of a Mobile Mammography Screening Program in an Underserved Population within a Large Metropolitan Area.
The Potential Impact of Risk-Based Screening Mammography in Women 40-49 Years Old.
TLDR
Very strong family history and extremely dense breast tissue were absent in most 40- to 49-year-old women with breast cancer detected at screening mammography, and reducing the number of women to be screened in this age group by using this risk-based approach would reduce thenumber of screen-detected cancers by more than 75%, thereby precluding the benefit of mortality reduction.
Harms of Restrictive Risk-Based Mammographic Breast Cancer Screening.
TLDR
Many screen-detected breast cancers occurred in women without dense tissue or a family history of breast cancer, suggesting exclusive use of restrictive risk-based screening could result in delayed cancer detection for many women.
Screening mammography with special reference to guidelines in South Africa
TLDR
General findings are that screening mammography from the age of 40 saves lives, but that the problem of overdiagnosis and overtreatment of certain breast cancers overrides the benefit of screening.
"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you": breast imagers' perspectives regarding screening mammography for others and for themselves--do they practice what they preach?
TLDR
Nearly all (98%) of the radiologists recommend yearly mammography for average-risk women 40 years old and older and were consistent in that they "practice what they preach," which should influence providers, patients, and the public when considering the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force screening guidelines.
Evidence to Support Screening Women in Their 40s.
Screening Mammography in Women 40-49 Years Old: Current Evidence.
TLDR
Evidence supports the benefit of annual screening mammography in women 40-49 years old, and models of different breast cancer screening strategies consistently show the greatest breast cancer mortality reduction and life-years gained with annual screening starting when women reach 40 years old.
Screening mammography guidelines: an alternative proactive approach.
In this opinion piece, I suggest that we breast imagers modify our initial interpretations and our downstream recommendations for screening mammograms, thereby reducing recall rates, percutaneous…

Mammography in 40-Year-Old Women: What Difference Does It Make? The Potential Impact of the U.S. Preventative Services Task Force (USPSTF) Mammography Guidelines
TLDR
Mammographic screening in women aged 40–49 detected smaller tumors with less nodal metastasis, resulting in improved survival, which supports annual mammographic Screening in this age group.
Screening US in patients with mammographically dense breasts: initial experience with Connecticut Public Act 09-41.
TLDR
Technologist-performed handheld screening breast US offered to women in the general population with dense breasts can aid detection of small mammographically occult breast cancers, although the overall PPV is low.
Performance benchmarks for screening mammography.
TLDR
Community screening mammographic performance measurements of cancer outcomes for the majority of radiologists in the BCSC surpass performance recommendations.
Combined screening with ultrasound and mammography vs mammography alone in women at elevated risk of breast cancer.
TLDR
The diagnostic yield, sensitivity, specificity, and diagnostic accuracy (assessed by the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve) of combined mammography plus ultrasound vs mammography alone and the positive predictive value of biopsy recommendations for mammographyplus ultrasound vs Mammography alone are compared.
Evaluation of periodic breast cancer screening with mammography. Methodology and early observations.
TLDR
Results of the study to date are consistent with the hypothesis that the screening leads to earlier detection of breast cancers than is ordinarily experienced and that mammography contributes significantly to detection.

Potential Impact of USPSTF Recommendations on Early Diagnosis of Breast Cancer
TLDR
Young Hispanic, Asian/PI, and non-Hispanic (NH) Black women in California have greater odds of being diagnosed with early breast cancer than their older counterparts and implementation of USPSTF recommendations could disproportionately impact non-white women and potentially lead to more advanced presentation at diagnosis.
Screening for Breast Cancer: Recommendations and Rationale
TLDR
The USPSTF concludes that the evidence is insufficient to recommend for or against routine CBE alone to screen for breast cancer, and recommends screening mammography, with or without clinical breast examination (CBE), every 1 to 2 years for women aged 40 and older.
Evidence on screening for breast cancer from a randomized trial
TLDR
Based on current findings in the HIP study, there appears to be strong support for periodic screening at ages 50 years and over with clinical examination and mammography; to justify screening under 50, new information from other studies is required.
