Abstract :
Introduction: One most prevalent cancer among women today is breast cancer, which is associated with significant mortality. Screening women with breast cancer involves history, clinical examination, and radiographs. Mammography, among other radiological diagnostic techniques, stands out with evidence of significantly reducing mortality rates among breast cancer patients. This review will discuss mammography in brief and its application in breast cancer screening.
Aim of Work: The aim of this study is to discuss mammography and breast cancer screening.
Materials and methods: This review is a comprehensive search of PUBMED from the year 1985 to 2021.
Conclusion: Due to the high incidence and mortality of breast cancers among women, it becomes imperative to diagnose early if possible if their chances of survival are to improve in such unfortunate events. Mammography has been the gold standard for screening middle-aged to old-age women for breast cancer for over several decades. Although mammography has reduced mortality rates among women, it does come with certain harms, such as overdiagnosis and overtreatment. Digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) is advanced 3D mammography that does reduce certain drawbacks of conventional mammography.
Keywords: Mammography, breast cancer, cancer screening, Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System, Digital breast tomosynthesis.
