Description
Jessica Hui and colleagues review, in 2026, breast findings spotted by chance on chest scans at their institution over two years. They track how often such findings appear in women over forty, what radiologists recommend and what follow-up actually happens.
Findings turned up in about one in seven scans, and dedicated breast imaging was advised in a small share of cases. Where workup happened, most results were harmless and only four cancers emerged. Wording mattered: firm recommendations led to follow-up far more often than optional phrasing. The authors call for standard reporting and follow-up rules.
