TMISTLead-in Trial Summary
This trial found that DBT was more accurate than FFDM in detecting breast cancer.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for asymptomatic women aged 40 and over who are scheduled for a routine screening mammogram. Participants must be able to undergo digital breast tomosynthesis and full-field digital mammography, and provide consent. Women with prior breast cancer, current or planned pregnancy, recent mammograms, breast enhancements, or new breast complaints cannot join.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study aims to compare the effectiveness of two types of breast cancer screenings: one combining three-dimensional digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) with standard two-dimensional full-field digital mammography (FFDM), versus FFDM alone in detecting cancer.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Digital breast tomosynthesis and full-field digital mammography may involve exposure to low-dose radiation similar to traditional x-rays which carries a minimal risk of harmful effects.
