Projects
COMORBIDITY AND SCREENING OUTCOMES AMONG OLDER WOMEN UNDERGOING MAMMOGRAPHY
This study will evaluate the benefits and harms of screening mammography among women aged 66 and older.
This study is evaluating the impact of state-specific breast density notification legislation on population-level use of alternative breast imaging and downstream clinical and economic outcomes.
RISK-BASED BREAST CANCER SCREENING AND SURVEILLANCE IN COMMUNITY PRACTICE
The results from this study will provide relevant and timely information to guide women, providers, policymakers and healthcare delivery systems in identifying the most effective breast cancer screening and surveillance strategies.
COMPARATIVE EFFECTIVENESS OF BREAST CANCER SCREENING AND DIAGNOSTIC EVALUATION BY EXTENT OF BREAST DENSITY
The purpose of this study is to quantify the benefits and harms of supplemental imaging for breast cancer screening and preoperative work-up by extent of breast density.
QUANTITATIVE IMAGING DATA IN A COMMUNITY-BASED MAMMOGRAPHY REGISTRY
The objective of this study is to establish an image bank within the Carolina Mammography Registry (CMR) to enable the integration of percent mammographic density into studies of breast cancer screening, risk, and survival among women in North Carolina.
Prior Projects
EVALUATING THE EFFECT OF BREAST DENSITY LEGISLATION ON SUPPLEMENTAL SCREENING
The objective of this study is to determine if the North Carolina breast density law impacts screening behavior in a diverse population and to elucidate how breast imaging facilities across the state are interpreting and implementing the law.
TECHNOLOGIST EFFECT ON THE ACCURACY OF MAMMOGRAPHY (TEAM)
The purpose of this study is to better understand the role of mammography technologists on the performance of mammography in community practice.
RISK BASED BREAST CANCER SCREENING IN COMMUNITY SETTINGS
Conducted by the Breast Cancer Surveillance Consortium, the objective of this project is to identify effective breast cancer screening strategies for women of diverse levels of breast cancer risk to maximize screening benefits while minimizing potential harms.
COMPARATIVE EFFECTIVENESS OF SURVEILLANCE MODALITIES IN BREAST CANCER SURVIVORS
The goal of this study was to compare the effectiveness of mammography and breast MRI for the detection of second breast cancer events among women with a personal history of breast cancer.
A NOVEL DATA LINKAGE APPROACH TO EXAMINE DISPARITIES IN BREAST CANCER SCREENING AND OUTCOMES
We explored breast cancer disparities in North Carolina by combining existing data sources, namely the Carolina Mammography Registry and the Integrated Cancer Information and Surveillance System (now CIPHR)
COMPARATIVE EFFECTIVENESS OF BREAST IMAGING STRATEGIES IN COMMUNITY PRACTICE
The overall goal of this project was to conduct comparative effectiveness research on breast cancer imaging modalities and strategies to inform evidence gaps on how to optimize breast cancer screening in community practice.
