Comparative effectiveness of breast tomosynthesis and mammography in real-world population screening: Evidence to underpin and improve breast cancer screening [ 2020-05-20T00:00:00 ]

Research Grant

Brief description This research addresses key evidence gaps in breast cancer screening by investigating tomosynthesis (3D mammography) versus standard 2D mammography screening to establish the effectiveness of tomosynthesis in Australia and internationally, including impact on cancers not detected at screening that progress clinically. Large-scale studies will be done in real world screening services including a prospective comparative study planned collaboratively with BreastScreen to guide screening policy.
