Abstract

Small size of tumors and less severe nodal invasion have been proven to indicate descending stage spread caused by mammography. New federal recommendations limit the use of screening in women aged 35 to 50. This study's objective is to assess the precise impact of mammographic testing practices on dense breast surgical treatment in females aged 35 to 50. The research is a population based retrospective evaluation of breast cancer diagnoses among women aged 35 to 50 from the VBCSS. For females admitted with non-screen-detected and screen detected breast cancer, the tumor stage and associated features at the initiation of treatment, along with the type of surgical treatment carried out, were noted. When compared to non-screened patients who presented with symptoms of the disease, screen detected cancerous cells in women aged 35 to 50 were related to a high frequency of stage 0 breast cancer, small size of tumor, fewer incidences of positive nodes, and high rates of breast conservation. Breast conservation rates are higher with mammography screening and less harsh surgical treatment of breast cancer. Individual mammography screening actions must consider the identified improvements in surgical intervention.
