UVa Participates in Landmark Breast Cancer Screening Trial
Digital mammography that uses computers to detect breast cancer found significantly (up to 28%) more cancers than screen film mammography in women 50 and younger, premenopausal and perimenopausal women, and women with dense breasts, according to results from one of the largest breast cancer screening studies ever performed. view more (2005-09-21)
Mammography screenings for breast cancer show racial and ethnic disparities
Inadequate use of screening mammography may be an important reason that African-American women are more likely to be diagnosed with advanced stage breast cancer than members of other ethnic groups. view more (2006-04-18)
Researchers set benchmarks for screening mammography

Screening may over-diagnose 1 in 10 breast cancers
Screening women for breast cancer could result in a 10% rate of over-diagnosis, finds a study published online by the BMJ today. view more (2006-03-03)
Optical imaging added to ultrasound improves breast cancer diagnosis
A new study shows that combining a technology called optical tomography with standard ultrasound imaging can help distinguish early-stage breast cancer from non-cancerous lesions-and potentially reduce the number of breast biopsies performed. view more (2005-09-27)
Digital mammography results in technologists' time savings but physician time loss

Increased Vitamin B consumption reduces women's risk of colorectal cancer
According to a study published in the American Gastroenterological Association (AGA) journal Gastroenterology, women with a high dietary intake of vitamin B6 over several years have a decreased risk of colorectal cancer (CRC).
