Among premenopausal women who had undergone mammography in the previous 2 years, mammography was more sensitive in the detection of breast cancer in those who underwent mammography during the 1st week of their menstrual cycle than in those who underwent mammography during the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th week of their menstrual cycle

Ultimately, despite the theoretically improved accuracy of 9- and 11-gauge vacuum-assisted breast biopsy needles and the risk stratification performed on the basis of histopathologic and mammographic criteria, we were unable to identify a subpopulation of patients with atypical ductal hyperplasia who could safely avoid surgical excision
The upgrade rate is significantly higher when ADH involves at least three foci. Surgical excision is recommended even when ADH involves fewer than three foci and all mammographic calcifications have been removed, because the upgrade rate is 12%

The results of this study show that recall rates and the rates of invasive tests performed were lower in the digital mammography group than in the screen-film mammography group, whereas no significant differences between the groups were observed for the overall cancer detection rate
