Summary
This study tested whether a newer 3D breast X-ray (tomosynthesis) is better than standard 2D mammography at finding breast cancer early in women aged 45-74. Over 26,000 women participated. The goal was to see if the 3D method reduces the number of advanced cancers and cancers found between screenings.
