Researchers recommend individualized screening strategies for this population, among whom mammography guidance remains murky. 

MD Anderson developed its questionnaire using National Comprehensive Cancer Network referral guidelines, administering the form as part of regular mammography intake.  

Statutes mandating payment for supplemental screening of dense breasts produced 6% lower odds of diagnosis at a regional stage. 

The finding is part of a longitudinal study incorporating more than 830,000 women, published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine. 

That's according to a new analysis out of Johns Hopkins University, published in the Journal of the American College of Radiology. 

A “substantial” deficit of missed mammography appointments is likely deepening disparities during the pandemic, according to new research published in JAMA Network Open. 

Black women were twice as likely to face delays greater than 45 days, and those experiencing this long lag were 1.6 times more likely to die, experts wrote in JACR. 

Researchers sought to answer this question using data from the Breast Cancer Care in Chicago study of patients treated at disproportionate share hospitals and other institutions.
