Massive U.S. mammography registry aims to sharpen breast cancer detection
NCT ID NCT01900821
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is a large national registry that collects mammography data from radiology practices across the U.S. to help them compare their performance with national and regional benchmarks. It includes up to 8 million participants and provides feedback on key measures like cancer detection and recall rates. The goal is to improve the quality and accuracy of breast cancer screening, not to test a new treatment or drug.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this registry could help improve breast cancer detection rates and reduce unnecessary recalls across the U.S.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational registry, not a treatment trial. It collects existing data and does not test a new intervention, so direct patient benefits are indirect and long-term.
