The outdated dogma that “2D mammography is best practice for breast cancer screening” needs to be challenged. 3D mammography offers higher detection rates and fewer false-positive recalls, particularly for women with dense breasts. However, it involves higher upfront costs; longer interpretation times; and does not yet have long-term mortality data. Transparency about the benefits and limitations of current and emerging technologies is essential for informed decision-making and building trust in our healthcare system. #breastcancer #breastcancerscreening #densebreasts #breastdensity

Women should be educated about the benefits and considerations of breast screening tests.
