False-positive recalls in the prospective Malmö Breast Tomosynthesis Screening Trial

1

Digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) may replace or complement digital mammography (DM) in breast cancer screening.
2

False-positive recalls in breast cancer screening can cause psychosocial distress and reduce future screening attendance.
3

The Malmö Breast Tomosynthesis Screening Trial (MBTST) compared one-view DBT with two-view DM in a population-based screening trial.
4

In the MBTST, the false-positive recall rate was initially higher for DBT compared to DM, primarily due to stellate distortions.
5

The study evaluated false-positive recalls, appearances, and outcomes over the trial years to provide insights into DBT's early clinical experiences.
