An overall malignancy detection rate of 2.3 per 1000 screens and a recall rate of 9.2% were found. Despite culture differences and differences in breast characteristics (denser and smaller breasts), breast screening is feasible and acceptable in the East

We conducted a case-control study to examine the relationship between breast density (BD) on mammography and breast cancer risk for postmenopausal Japanese women. The mammograms (205 cases and 223 controls) were classified by two doctors employing Wolfe's classification and used to measure BD with original computer software. A weak relationship between breast cancer risk and the parenchymal pattern of Wolfe's classification was found. The BD measured with the computer software, however, showed a significant relationship with breast cancer risk.

The underestimation rate of atypical ductal hyperplasia (ADH) diagnosed via vacuum-assisted breast biopsy (VABB) is a crucial issue in the common clinical practice. Bedei et al. examined the underestimation of ADH diagnosis by VABB.
Independently, our research team has evaluated putative ways of minimizing underestimation rate in pre-invasive breast lesions.

Primary breast cancer of aberrant breast tissue is virtually never diagnosed preoperatively. Once the diagnosis of breast tissue has been established through the detection of hormone receptors, its origin as a metastatic lesion from classical breast cancer has to be ruled out. There are no specific therapeutic guidelines for these rare tumors; however, the interdisciplinary adjustment of treatment to the recommendations for orthotopic breast cancer seems reasonable and effective

Interval breast cancers in screening: The effect of mammography review method on classification
Interval breast cancers in screening: The effect of mammography review method on classification

More ‘informed’ review is more likely to yield an IC classification as MS or SE. Due to expected variability, review methods need standardisation to improve screening quality. Our data support blinded review of IC in mammography screening.

Reassurance following breast screening recall for female survivors of Hodgkin's lymphoma
Reassurance following breast screening recall for female survivors of Hodgkin's lymphoma
Kate Absolom, Diana Greenfield, Richard Ross, Helena Davies, Barry Hancock and Christine Eiser
The Breast , 16, Issue 6, December 2007, Pages 590-596
After the recall, 64% had learned more about late effects and 76% were reassured about their health. All but one woman intended to attend future screening. Women are keen to take advantage of screening and experience relatively little distress

The Breast 16, Issue 6, December 2007, Pages 568-576
In conclusion, overall interobserver agreement in mammographic interpretation of breast density is substantial and therefore, the BI-RADS classification for breast density is useful for standardization in a multicentre study
