12016USPSTF (United States Preventive Service Task Force)Digital mammography reveals good results for younger women and dense breast possessing womenRecent evidence is insufficient for assessing the balance between the merits and demerits of adjuvant screening with MRI, ultrasonography and other methods
22013ACS (American Cancer Society)Although overall sensitivity is similar for FDP and AP, digital mammography reveals good results for younger women and women with dense breastsData accumulation on breast tomosynthesis seems to provide better results with improved accuracy
32015ACR (American College of Radiology)Annual mammogram screening is represented for intermediate and high-risk women. In addition, CE MRI is represented, and ultrasound may be regarded as the alternative to clarify the MRI’s contrary indicationsMammography with supplementary screening always derived more consecutive results in dealing with predispositions of dense breast women and to provide accurate detection of results
42009/2016NCNN (National Comprehensive Cancer Network)Digital mammography benefits younger women and women who have dense breastDespite few studies supporting the utilization of ultrasound scans for BC screening in women with high risk, the NCCN panel warns that there is inadequate proof for supporting routine screening in dense breast women associated with no other observed risk factors
