Digital zoom of the full-field digital mammogram versus magnification mammography: a systematic review.

Objectives: To summarise and compare the performance of magnification mammography and digital zoom utilising a full-field digital mammography (FFDM) system in the detection and diagnosis of microcalcifications.

Methods: We ran an extended search in MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, Engineering Village and Web of Science. Diagnostic test studies, experimental breast phantom studies and a Monte Carlo phantom study were included.

Interprofessional work in early detection of breast cancer: An integrative review.

Objectives: To identify the roles of health care staff in interprofessional work related to breast cancer detection and diagnosis.

Key Findings: A comprehensive search was performed using PICO to support inclusion and exclusion criteria. A shortened version of the STROBE checklist ensured evaluation of the studies.

Health-related quality of life, anxiety and depression related to mammography screening in Norway.

Aim And Objectives: To measure health-related quality of life, anxiety and depression ahead of mammography screening and to assess any differences in health-related quality of life compared to reference population.

Background: The study of health-related quality of life among attendees prior to mammography screening has received little attention, and increased knowledge is needed to better understand the overall health benefits of participation.

Design: A two-group cross-sectional comparative study was performed.

Effects of false-positive results in a breast screening program on anxiety, depression and health-related quality of life.

Background: Decreased anxiety has been reported among women with false-positive results in mammography screening programs. No long-term effects have been fully demonstrated, and the findings for anxiety and depression are contradictory. Few studies have addressed changes in health-related quality of life (HRQOL).

Mammography screening from the perspective of quality of life: a review of the literature.

Aims: The purpose of this literature review was to explore how women attending a national mammography screening programme reacted to the screening process on quality of life (QoL). The research question was what implications regarding true-negative results and false-positive results from mammography screening were found among women? Quality of life including life domains as psychological, physical and social was the theoretical reference in the study.

Method: Guided by the concept of QoL on mammography screening a database search of Medline, Cinahl and Cochrane was carried out.
