1) Review the radiological findings of our interval breast cancers at the time of screening and diagnosis for women in their first (prevalent) screening round.
2) Review the histopathological subtypes/grade of our interval cancers and correlation with radiographic findings including both mammography and MRI.
3) Present our interval data with regard to learning points for cancers that were deemd to either have minimal signs or suspicious abnormalities on their screening mammograms that were not reported.
Description of current UK NHS breast screening programme (NHSBSP)/definition of prevalent interval breast cancers
Presentation of 71 interval cancers in our insitiution between 2005 and 2009 including:
- Interval year of diagnosis
-- Radiological findings at diagnosis on mammography/ultrasound/MRI
- Histopathological review of interval cancers
- MRI/ultrasound findings in mammographically occult interval cancers
- Pictorial review of our interval cancers that had minimal signs/supicious lesions on screening mammography that were not reported by two independent readers: a learning experience
