2 BACKGROUND early detection through screening MAMMOGRAPHY is associated with reduced breast cancer morbidity and mortality (estimated values: 23% for invited women, 40% for women who attend screening mammography) EUROSCREEN Working Group, J Med Scree The Independent UK Panel on Breast Cancer Screening. Lancet Duffy SW et al. J Med Screen, 2012 Lauby-Secretan B et al. N Engl J Med 2015 not optimal sensitivity and specificity (around 70% ) high dense breast, young women Pisano E.D et al. N Engl J Med, 2006 SFM FFDM 2

3 DIGITAL BREAST TOMOSYNTHESIS (DBT) 1. Multiple low dose projections of the compressed breast during an angular movement of the X-ray tube;

4 DIGITAL BREAST TOMOSYNTHESIS (DBT) 2. A pseudo-three dimensional reconstruction of the breast using dedicated softwares Tomo slices INCREASED SENSITIVITY: reducing - masking effects related to fibro-glandular density - overlap phenomena INCREASED SPECIFICITY: reducing - overlap phenomena

5 DIAGNOSTIC TEST A BETTER DIAGNOSIS SYMPTOMATIC WOMAN: - increased diagnostic accuracy; - better and more efficient workflow (targeted ultrasound examinations, fewer additional 2D views, etc.); - fewer benign biopsies Rafferty EA, et al. Radiology 2013 Morel JC et al: Clin Radiol 2014 Gilbert F, et al: Health Technology Assessment 2015 Bansal GJ, et al. Br J Radiol PRE-OPERATIVE PLANNING: - as good as 2D in estimating lesion size; - 2D+DBT+US vs MRI: overall similar sensitivity and accuracy Fornick D, et al. Acta Radiol 2010 Timberg P, et al. Med Phys 2010 Mariscotti G, et al. Anticancer Reasearch 2014 DBT SECOND-LOOK for additional findings at pre-operatory MRI : - identified and correctly classified some of the MRI additional findings; - avoided few MRI-guided biopsy. Clauser P, et al. Eur Radiol 2015

7 A BETTER DIAGNOSIS (screening test) PROSPECTIVE POPULATION BASED SCREENING TRIALS 2D vs 2D+DBT (vs synt2d+dbt)* Study STORM Ciatto S, Lancet Oncol, 2013 OSLO* Skaane P, Eur Radiol, 2013 MALMO Lång K, Eur Radiol, 2015 STORM2* Bernardi D, Lancet Oncol, 2016 N. screens Age Design DBT Intepretation screens Prospective, paired Prospective, paired Prospective, paired Prospective, paired 2 views Double, sequential 2 views Double, independent 1 view Double, sequential 2 views Double, sequential Study CD 2D, 2D+DBT (n/1000) Aumento CD (n/1000) Diff RR 2D vs 2D+DBT (%) STORM 5.3, OSLO 6.1, MALMO 6.3, STORM2 6.3, Incremental CD RR reduction??

12 FALSE POSITIVE RECALLS final RR depends by: - ratio between baseline 2D recalls and DBT recalls; - learning curve; - availability of previus DBT images for comparison

Lancet Onc, ± 0.51mGy 3.22 ± 1.16mGy 1.87 ± 0.67mGy SOLUTIONS: - DBT alone aquisition - synthesized 2D images increased FPR (no comparison with priors) Lång K et al: Eur Radiol, 2015 Synthesized 2D image

15 Screening with Tomosynthesis OR standard Mammography 2 trial Bernardi D et al. Lancet Oncol, 2016 Prospective population-screening study aimed to examine the effect of screening with DBT mammography comparing different screen-readings used sequentially: - conventional 2D mammography only; - integrated 2D+DBT mammography; - integrated synt 2D+DBT mammography; ethical committee approval; resident women, aged informed consent (who declined the invitation received standard 2D); integrated 2D + DBT mammography in Combo HD mode (Selenia Dimensions 3D, Hologic) - acquired bilateral two-views (MLO and CC views); - reconstruction of synt 2D images from DBT data using C-view (Hologic)

23 X-RAY DOSE IN HEALTHY POPULATION In screening should be considered the acquisition of DBT alone and a reconstruction of synthetic 2D images which allow: - containment radiation dose - comparison with previous images in 2D - evaluation of spatial distribution of clustered microcalcifications

24 IMPLEMENTATION OF DBT implications and possible impact on the organization IMPLICATIONS Increase RR Higher x-ray dose in healthy population Longer reading times Management DBT detected lesions Overdiagnosis / overtreatment Cost effectiveness

30 SCREENING MAMMOGRAPHY: - BENEFIT: increased breast cancer detection reducing breast cancer morbidity and mortality; - HARM: increased breast cancer detection without reducing breast cancer mortality OVERDIAGNOSIS cancers detected at screening that would not have otherwise become clinically apparent in the woman's lifetime 1-10% (6,5%) EUROSCREEN Working Group, % UK Panel, 2012 DBT increased cancer detection: is it a benefit or an harm?

31 DBT & OVERDIAGNOSIS To assess incremental benefit (mortality reduction) of DBT can be used surrogate end-points, like interval cancer rates. Irwig L, et al. BMJ, 2006 Houssami N. MJA, 2013 Houssami N et al. Expert Rev. Med. Devices, 2015 INTERVAL CANCERS Negative screen Interval cancers Next screening 1 year 2 year

32 INTERVAL CANCERS 2D Screening DBT Screening screening Benefit if: - increased cancer detection - reduced interval carcinoma rates

33 DBT & INTERVAL CANCERS Interval cancers in retrospective studies (USA) STUDY 2D (n/1000) DBT (n/1000) p Upenn McDonald, JAMA 2016 PROSPR consortium Conant E, Breast Cancer Res Treat Not significative reduction None of the four prospective trials (EU) were designed (and powered) to assess interval cancer rates reduction Houssami N et al. Expert Rev. Med. Devices, 2015

34 IN THE MEANTIME. OTHER TRIALS ARE ONGOING Randomized trials (Reggio Emilia, Piemonte, Norway) end-point: evaluation of IC rates in 2D vs 2D/DBT (or synt2d/dbt in norwegian study) Pilot studies (trials) on the use of DBT in population screening programmes

35 PRIMARY OUTCOME - increased detection rate (biological cancer characteristics); - reduction of false positive recalls; - IC rates - T2+ DBT SCREEN DETECTED at the incidence round SECONDARY OUTCOME - costs for introducing DBT technology and related infrastucture (i.e. data storage) - costs for ongoing implementation (reading time, assessments, biopsies, surgeries and therapies); Gilbert FJ, et al. Clin Radiol, 2016 Houssami N et al. Expert Rev. Med. Devices, 2015

36 CONCLUSIONS: - CLINICAL MAMMOGRAPHY (symptomatic woman, screening assessment) - SCREENING MAMMOGRAPHY Increased diagnostic accuracy, Waiting regardless for results from on - overdiagnosis radiologist experience! / overtreatment - cost effectiveness Svahn TM, Macaskill P, Houssami N.
