Major trial tests if 3D mammograms are the better cancer finder

NCT ID NCT03377036

Summary

This large study aims to find out if a newer type of mammogram, called 3D mammography (or tomosynthesis), is better than the standard 2D mammogram for routine breast cancer screening. It will involve nearly 100,000 women in Germany to see if the 3D method finds more invasive cancers earlier and reduces the number of cancers missed between screenings. The goal is to determine which technology provides the most effective screening for women.
