El aumento de la precisión y la comodidad del paciente con la mamografía digital
Hay noticias alentadoras para las mujeres. No sólo es cada vez más fácil para capturar y tratar el cáncer de mama en sus primeras etapas, pero las nuevas tecnologías están haciendo el proceso de diagnóstico de la enfermedad más cómodo para el paciente y más precisa, así. El Instituto Nacional del Cáncer recomienda mamografías cada uno o dos años para las mujeres mayores de 40 años y cada año para mujeres mayores de 50 años. Además, las mujeres con alto riesgo de desarrollar cáncer de mama (por ejemplo, las mujeres con una fuerte historia familiar de cáncer de mama o que tienen resultados positivos para el gen del cáncer de mama BRCA) se anima para comenzar las investigaciones anuales de mamografía incluso antes-a veces de tan sólo 25 y debería consultar a un médico. Beneficios y riesgos • La detección temprana de cánceres de mama pequeños mejora en gran medida las posibilidades de la mujer para un tratamiento exitoso. Si el cáncer de mama se detecta y se trata cuando todavía está confinado a los conductos de la mama, la tasa de curación es cercana al 100 por ciento. • Los estudios clínicos en los EE.UU., Suecia y los Países Bajos han sugerido que las muertes por cáncer de mama podrían reducirse entre un 36 y el 44 por ciento si la mamografía de cribado se realiza anualmente en todas las mujeres en sus 40 años. mamografía digital Uno de los más recientes avances en la detección del cáncer de mama es la mamografía digital. La mamografía digital utiliza esencialmente el mismo sistema que la mamografía convencional, pero está equipado con un receptor digital y una computadora en lugar de un cartucho de película. sistemas de mamografía digital

Increasing Accuracy And Patient Comfort With Digital Mammography
Increasing Accuracy And Patient Comfort With Digital Mammography
There's encouraging news for women. Not only is it becoming easier to catch and treat breast cancer in its earliest stages, but new technologies are making the process of diagnosing the disease more comfortable for the patient-and more accurate as well.
The National Cancer Institute recommends mammography screenings every one to two years for women over 40 and annually for women over 50. In addition, women at high risk of developing breast cancer (for example, women with a strong family history of breast cancer or who test positive for the BRCA breast cancer gene) are encouraged to begin annual mammography screenings even earlier-sometimes as young as 25-and should consult a physician.
Benefits and risks
• Early detection of small breast cancers greatly improves a woman's chances for successful treatment. If breast cancer is caught and treated while it is still confined to the breast ducts, the cure rate is close to 100 percent.
• Clinical studies in the U.S., Sweden and the Netherlands have suggested that deaths from breast cancer could be cut by between 36 and 44 percent if screening mammography were performed annually on all women in their 40s.
Digital mammography
One of the most recent advances in breast cancer screening is digital mammography. Digital mammography uses essentially the same system as conventional mammography, but is equipped with a digital receptor and a computer instead of a film cassette.
