- - The Trento screening program shifted to digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) due to its proven effectiveness in detecting breast cancer more accurately than traditional mammography, leading to a pilot study evaluating this transition.
- - In the study, 46,343 women underwent DBT screening and detected 402 breast cancers, resulting in a cancer detection rate (CDR) of 8.67 per 1000 screens, compared to 205 cancers with a CDR of 5.48 per 1000 screens from a historical digital mammography (DM) group.
- - DBT screening demonstrated lower recall rates (2.55% vs. 3.21%), higher sensitivity (88.74% vs. 80.
