编者按:传统乳房钼靶,类似于传统光学相机,可将乳房的二维透视影像保留于传统胶片;数字化二维乳房钼靶,类似于传统数码相机,可将乳房二维透视影像保留于数码设备;数字化三维乳房钼靶,类似于三维数码相机,可将乳房二维透视影像合成三维透视影像保留于数码设备。数字化三维乳房钼靶可能克服传统乳房钼靶的局限,但是对于筛查乳腺癌,尤其对于人群筛查间期癌的影响,目前尚不明确。
2月10日,施普林格·自然旗下《乳腺癌研究与治疗》在线发表挪威癌症登记处、奥斯陆大学、奥斯陆大学医院、奥斯陆城市大学、美国匹兹堡大学的人群前瞻研究报告,调查了数字化三维乳房钼靶对于人群筛查检出癌和间期癌的作用。
该人群筛查两人独立读片前瞻研究(OTST)于11月22日~12月19日邀请50~69岁奥斯陆女性接受两年一轮的乳房筛查(二维+三维),与~前两轮筛查(二维)的效果指标、筛查检出癌和间期癌特征进行比较。
结果,与前两轮筛查(二维)共5万9877例相比,后一轮筛查(二维+三维)共2万4301例:
敏感性似乎较高:76.2% → 80.8%(378 / 496 → 227 / 281,P = 0.151)
特异性显著较高:96.4% → 97.5%(57229 / 59381 → 23427 / 24020,P < 0.001)
召回比显著较低:6.7例 → 3.6例(2530 / 378 → 820 / 227,P < 0.001)
检出癌显著较多:6.3‰ → 9.3‰(378 / 59877 → 227 / 24301,P < 0.001)
间期癌基本不变:2.1‰ → 2.0‰(118 / 59877 → 51 / 24301,P = 0.734)
与前两轮筛查(二维)间期癌相比,后一轮筛查(二维+三维)间期癌的特征相似,但是后一轮筛查(二维+三维)检出癌的大小、分级、淋巴结状态显著不同,例如:
淋巴结阳性率显著较低:39.1% → 39.6%比3.9%
分级1级比例显著较高:14.0% → 10.9%比49.0%
分级3级比例显著较低:44.9% → 47.8%比9.8%
≤ 10mm比例显著较高:17.2% → 9.3%比51.0%
> 20mm比例显著较低:37.6% → 48.8%比3.9%
因此,数字化二维+三维乳房钼靶筛查的特异性(真阴性)和筛查检出癌比例显著增加。不过,间期癌的比例、大小、分级、淋巴结状态未见显著变化。

PURPOSE: Digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) has the potential to overcome limitations of conventional mammography. This study investigated the effects of addition of DBT on interval and detected cancers in population-based screening.
METHODS: Oslo Tomosynthesis Screening Trial (OTST) was a prospective, independent double-reading trial inviting women 50-69 years biennially, comparing full-field digital mammography (FFDM) plus DBT with FFDM alone. Performance indicators and characteristics of screen-detected and interval cancers were compared with two previous FFDM rounds.
RESULTS: 24,301 consenting women underwent FFDM + DBT screening over a 2-year period. Results were compared with 59,877 FFDM examinations during prior rounds. Addition of DBT resulted in a non-significant increase in sensitivity (76.2%, 378/496, vs. 80.8%, 227/281, p = 0.151) and a significant increase in specificity (96.4%, 57229/59381 vs. 97.5%, 23427/24020, p < .001). Number of recalls per screen-detected cancer decreased from 6.7 (2530/378) to 3.6 (820/227) with DBT (p < .001). Cancer detection per 1000 women screened increased (6.3, 378/59877, vs. 9.3, 227/24301, p < .001). Interval cancer rate per 1000 screens for FFDM + DBT remained similar to previous FFDM rounds (2.1, 51/24301 vs. 2.0, 118/59877, p = 0.734). Interval cancers post-DBT were comparable to prior rounds but significantly different in size, grade, and node status from cancers detected only using DBT. 39.6% (19/48) of interval cancers had positive nodes compared with only 3.9% (2/51) of additional DBT-only-detected cancers.
CONCLUSIONS: DBT-supplemented screening resulted in significant increases in screen-detected cancers and specificity. However, no significant change was observed in the rate, size, node status, or grade of interval cancers.
