“…Informed reviews of prior screening and diagnostic mammograms performed by groups of radiologists have classified about 25% of the screen-detected and interval cancers as missed (6,7). Also, it has been reported that 20% of screen-detected cancers were recommended for recall by one of two radiologists in independent double reading (8).…”
The performance of the artificial intelligence system was promising for breast cancer detection in a large population-based mammography screening program.
Key Results:• In this retrospective study of 122 969 examinations, mammograms were evaluated with an artificial intelligence (AI) system which predicts the risk of cancer on a scale from 1 (lowest risk) to 10 (highest risk). • A total of 87.6% (653 of 752) of screen-detected and 44.9% (92 of 205) of interval cancers had the highest AI score of 10; 0.7% (five of 752) screen-detected cancers had the lowest AI score of 1. • Interval cancers with high AI scores had favorable histopathological tumor characteristics compared to cancers with low AI scores; the opposite was observed for screen-detected cancers.

“…Hence, interval cancer rates can only be determined when routine screening is in place. These tumors could be true interval cancers that arise due to rapid tumor growth [ 128 ] or due to false negatives, which are cancers that were present on the mammograms but missed by the assessing professional [ 33 ]. Therefore, the interval cancer rate is an indicator of the quality of radiology and the effectiveness of screening programs [ 33 ].…”
Close to half (45.4%) of the 2.3 million breast cancers (BC) diagnosed in 2020 were from Asia. While the burden of breast cancer has been examined at the level of broad geographic regions, literature on more in-depth coverage of the individual countries and subregions of the Asian continent is lacking. This narrative review examines the breast cancer burden in 47 Asian countries. Breast cancer screening guidelines and risk-based screening initiatives are discussed.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
