- Abstract:
The article focuses on the efficacy of mammography in screening of women with implants for breast cancer. Breast augmentation is one of the most popular plastic surgeries in the U.S. and studies have shown that augmentation decrease the sensitivity of screening mammography but does not affect breast cancer prognosis. Furthermore, the National Cancer Institute shows that the best screening method for augmented women is mammography performed at a facility with employees trained in implant imaging.
