Abstract:Objectives: To assess the associations between objectively measured mammographic compression pressure and paddle tilt and breast cancer (BC) detected at the same (“contemporaneous”) screen, subsequent screens, or in-between screens (interval cancers). Methods: Automated pressure and paddle tilt estimates were derived for 80,495 mammographic examinations in a UK population-based screening programme. Adjusted logistic regression models were fitted to estimate the associations of compression parameters with BC de… Show more
