Adverse effects of screening mammography

Radiologic Clinics of North America
Stephen A Feig

Abstract

The main risks and other adverse consequences from screening mammography include discomfort from breast compression, patient recall for additional imaging, and false positive biopsies. Although these risks affect a larger number of women than those who benefit from screening, the risks are less consequential than the life-sparing benefits from early detection. Radiation risk, even for multiple screenings, is negligible at current mammography doses. Anxiety before screening or resulting from supplementary imaging work-up, short-term follow-up, cyst aspiration, and biopsy has not dampened the enthusiasm of most women for the value of early detection.
