The Malmö trial and wide-angle breast tomosynthesis
Speaker: Dr. Sophia Zackrisson
The superiority of digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) compared to digital mammography (DM) for cancer detection in screening is undoubted, as indicated by the results from several large, prospective screening trials. The Malmö Breast Tomosynthesis Screening Trial involving 15000 women in Malmö, Sweden is unique in the sense that it investigated wide-angle, 1-view DBT with reduced compression and still gave results on par with more extensive imaging protocols in other trials. The trial showed an increase in cancer detection of 34% and acceptable recall rates. Our most recent results show that the rate of interval cancers decreased after screening with DBT compared to a large, contemporary control group screened with digital mammography. This is important information adding to the growing evidence of DBT contributing to even an more effective breast cancer screening.
Biography: Dr. Sophia Zackrisson
Prof. Zackrisson is Professor of Radiology at Lund University and senior consultant radiologist at Skåne University Hospital Malmö, Sweden. She has a PhD in epidemiology with a thesis on mammography screening. In 2011 she was visiting scholar at Stanford University, Ca, USA, focusing on molecular imaging and magnetic resonance imaging. One of her largest clinical and epidemiological studies as PI is the Malmö Breast Tomosynthesis Screening Trial. Further research and clinical interests are colorectal and prostate cancer and metastatic disease. Prof. Zackrisson is chair of the Swedish Society of Breast Imaging, chair of the Swedish Translational Research in Breast Cancer and executive board member of European Society of Breast Imaging since 2017. She is author of numerous scientific papers and book chapters. In 2020 she was named “Cancer Researcher of the Year” by the Swedish Cancer Society for her contributions in cancer imaging.
