Advances in Breast Screening: imaging options for personalized diagnostics (Complete Session)
60:00Daan Hellingman, Den Hague / NL, Isabelle Thomassin-Naggara, Paris / FR, Adrian K. P. Lim, London / UK, Ritse Mann, Nijmegen / NL, Daniela Bernardi, Pieve Emanuele / IT
Breast screening programs have been a key topic of discussion for nearly 50 years. New findings from scientific studies combined with technological advancements continue to spark new debates. It often feels like every answered question raises two new ones.
While we may not solve the complex challenges of achieving ideal breast screening during this symposium, renowned breast radiologists will contribute to the ongoing development of personalized screening programs by sharing their experiences with current breast examination techniques:
•Breast tomosynthesis for screening average-risk women
•Contrast enhanced imaging (CEM and MRI) for intermediate and high-risk patients
•The use of super high frequency ultrasound probe

Rethinking Breast Cancer Follow-Up: Exploring Contrast-Enhanced Mammography as a Game-Changer
Daniela Bernardi, Pieve Emanuele / Italy
- Assess Current Follow-Up Practices: Gain insights into the existing imaging methods for breast cancer follow-up, understanding their strengths and limitations in post-surgical patients.
- Introduce CEM as an Alternative: Explore the potential of Contrast-Enhanced Mammography to address the shortcomings of traditional approaches, backed by evidence from the COMBO trial.
- Envision the Future of Follow-Up: Discuss how CEM could reshape breast cancer follow-up protocols, improving early detection and patient outcomes.
