Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:Abstract Breast cancer (BC) is the leading cause of cancer death in women. Mammography has been the gold-standard exam in population-based BC screening. Despite reducing BC mortality, there is no international consensus regarding its implementation and methodology, concerning the age of onset, frequency with which it should be performed, and its risk-benefit balance. We present a review of the literature that brings together the most recent evidence on BC screening: benefits in early detection and reduction of mortality, associated risks (overdiagnosis, false positives, false negatives) and future perspectives for changing from its current paradigm to a model based on individual risk.
