It's Fact-Check Friday!

Myth or Fact: Other screening tests like thermograms, ultrasound, or blood tests are just as effective as mammograms.

MYTH! To date, mammograms are the only screening test that have been medically proven to reduce breast cancer mortality. Compared to mammograms, no other test has undergone such rigorous clinical trials with decades of patient follow-up monitoring.

Furthermore, no other test has as much patient-focused safety, quality assurance, and staff training regulations as mammograms. For these important reasons, all women have screening mammograms yearly, starting at age 40. Other screening tests may supplement but not replace mammograms.

Did you crack this month's case? Tell us what your diagnosis would be in the comments.

Q: What’s your call?
A: The patient underwent surgical excision, which showed DCIS.

ADH has a pooled upgrade rate to DCIS or invasive carcinoma of approximately 29% among surgically excised lesions, so surgical excision is generally recommended. Observation may be appropriate in carefully selected patients with low-risk features, including calcifications without an associated mass or distortion, limited ADH, adequate sampling, and radiologic-pathologic concordance. Multidisciplinary review is recommended when considering surveillance.

In recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, SBI Podcast hosts Dr. Karla Sepulveda and Dr. Alyssa Cubbison welcome Stamatia Destounis, MD, FACR, FSBI, FAIUM, owner of Elizabeth Wende Breast Care and chair of the ACR Commission on Breast Imaging.

Dr. Destounis discusses building a patient-centered practice culture, supporting staff, and maintaining meaningful face-to-face care in an increasingly remote environment. She also highlights the commission’s work in education, screening guidance, and advocacy, from addressing breast biopsy needle shortages to reducing financial barriers to supplemental screening and diagnostic care. The conversation also explores thoughtful AI implementation and emerging priorities in breast imaging, including image-based risk assessment, equitable access to supplemental screening, abbreviated MRI, and contrast-enhanced mammography.

Googling for medical advice is always risky, which is why Bryanna Guthridge, DO, advises against it.

She helped answer another uncomfortable question: Are breast biopsies painful or traumatic?

Answer: Breast biopsies should not be painful. If you’re nervous about getting one, talk with your radiologist or technologist beforehand to get an idea of what the procedure involves.
