Early detection of breast cancer through mammography screening continues to save lives. However, abnormal findings on mammograms can lead to women being recalled for additional imaging and biopsies, many of which turn out to be "false positives," meaning they do not result in a cancer diagnosis. False positives can also have financial implications for patients and cause significant emotional anxiety.
