A recent study suggests that the more time it takes for breast density to decrease, the higher the chance a woman could develop breast cancer. In the study published in JAMA Oncology, the team used a mathematical model to monitor changes in breast density across a 10-year period in almost 1,000 women. The study revealed the association between...Read more

As a leader in women’s health, Hologic knows that increasing access to breast cancer screening is critical to detecting cancer earlier and saving lives. We commend the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) for changing their draft guidelines to recommend that women begin screening at age 40. Lowering the age for initial screening to 40...Read more

Mammography screening has been helpful in lowering breast cancer mortality, but there is ongoing debate on how often women should be screened. A new study has found that biennial mammography screening is associated with advanced-stage breast cancer compared with annual screening. Additionally, women undergoing screenings every two years tended...Read more

New research finds that lower screening mammography recall rates – the rates at which women are called back for additional testing based on suspicious findings – correlate with higher rates of breast cancers detected between screenings (or interval cancers). Analysis of some 5 million screening episodes from 84 screening facilities in the UK showed...Read more
