      Introduction - Experience of pain during screening mammography is shown to affect further attendance negatively. We aimed to explore the experience of pain during screening mammography using three different breast compression paddles.<p> <p>Methods - Using a self-report questionnaire, we collected information on pain experienced during mammography from 938 women screened in Bodø at Nordland ...

      Moshina, Nataliia; Falk, Ragnhild Sørum; Hofvind, Solveig (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-09-21)
      Objectives - This study aimed to explore the long-term quality of life (QoL) among breast cancer survivors eligible for mammographic screening at diagnosis and compare that to QoL among women with no history of breast cancer.<p> <p>Study design - Systematic review and meta-analysis.<p> <p>Methods - A systematic review of randomised controlled trials and observational studies published between ...

      Background: We aimed to develop and validate a model predicting breast cancer risk for women targeted by breast cancer screening. Method: This retrospective cohort study included 57,411 women screened at least once in BreastScreen Norway during the period from 2007 to 2019. The prediction model included information about age, mammographic density, family history of breast cancer, body mass index, ...
    • Quality of life among women with symptomatic, screen-detected, and interval breast cancer, and for women without breast cancer: a retrospective cross-sectional study from Norway 

      Moshina, Nataliia; Falk, Ragnhild Sørum; Botteri, Edoardo; Larsen, Marthe; Akslen, Lars Andreas; Cairns, John Alexander; Hofvind, Solveig (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-10-26)
      Purpose - Breast cancers detected at screening need less aggressive treatment compared to breast cancers detected due to symptoms. The evidence on the quality of life associated with screen-detected versus symptomatic breast cancer is sparse. This study aimed to compare quality of life among Norwegian women with symptomatic, screen-detected and interval breast cancer, and women without breast cancer ...
    • Standardised or individualised X-ray tube angle for mediolateral oblique projection in digital mammography?
