Opinion: Stop misleading women on breast screening

The article published 5 July by JAMA Oncology about the cost-effectiveness of breast screening is another example of the type of "nonscience" from a leading tabloid journal, writes Dr. László Tabár. Women and decision-makers deserve correct and honest information, and it's time to focus on the harm of not being screened, he notes.

Mammography's alleged harms: Separating fact from fiction

Screening mammography is a tool that has been proved to reduce breast cancer death rates, but its effectiveness continues to be disputed by researchers, some of whom have resorted to guesswork to buttress their arguments, according to an opinion piece by mammography experts Dr. László Tabár and Dr. Peter B. Dean.

Analysis of Swedish county data is off the mark

In this week's study in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, a research team claimed to find that mammography screening had no impact on mortality from breast cancer, based on their interpretation of data from Swedish counties. However, the group made a number of fatal mistakes in their analysis, according to Dr. László Tabár.

AI comes under scrutiny in Swedish prostate MRI study

An AI system trained in a screening population has lower specificity than radiologists using PI-RADS v2, but considerable care is vital, researchers from Gothenburg reported in European Radiology on 8 December.

Example case from test set with biparametric MRI data, reference segmentation, and output from AI system. The primary MRI assessment resulted in a PI-RADS 5 lesion in the left dorsal part of the peripheral zone and a PI-RADS 4 lesion in the right dorsal part of the peripheral zone (PSA of 11.6 μg/L). Targeted biopsies from both areas showed ISUP-grade 3. All images are from the same slice location, showing a part of both lesions. A T2-weighted (T2W) image. B Diffusion-weighted image with a b-value of 1,500 s/mm2. (C) Apparent diffusion coefficient map. (D) Reference segmentation with white areas representing tumor. (E) Softmax output from AI system. Inset in the lower left corner shows the detection map (cropped around the prostate) with red voxels representing softmax values of 0.99 and yellow voxels representing softmax values of 0.59. (F) T2W image with reference (D) and detection map (inset in E) overlayed, green represents areas in which both the reference and the AI output are positive (true positive voxels for AI), red only positive in reference (false-negative voxels for AI) and blue only segmented by AI (false-positive voxels for AI).
