Abstract

MR-guided breast biopsy

Highlights

  • This highlights the importance of adopting staged review methods with blinded and unblinded components

  • The blinded review and confirmation exercise determines the proportion of interval cases that were detectable at screening

  • In parallel with the UK demonstration projects, looking at the question of extending the age of invitation to 69 years, the Scottish Breast Screening Programme was funded to produce a model with the following aims: (1) predict increase in demand; (2) relate this increase to current capacity; (3) identify increased resources required

Summary

Objectives

To determine the proportion and features of invasive interval cancers that could be detected at the time of screening and the proportion classified as true-intervals, falsenegatives, minimal signs or radiographically occult lesions.followed by a confirmation exercise to determine the proportion detectable at the time of the previous screen; (2) an unblinded review to classify interval cases as true-interval, false-negative, minimal signs or radiographically occult.Setting: BreastScreen Victoria (Australia). To determine the proportion and features of invasive interval cancers that could be detected at the time of screening and the proportion classified as true-intervals, falsenegatives, minimal signs or radiographically occult lesions. Followed by a confirmation exercise to determine the proportion detectable at the time of the previous screen; (2) an unblinded review to classify interval cases as true-interval, false-negative, minimal signs or radiographically occult. To explore the desirability and practicality of establishing more flexible breast screening clinics. We canvassed NHSBSP units to establish whether more flexible scheduling was being undertaken, how, and with what success?
