Abstract
Breast cancer screening programs in increasing the survival rate and decreasing the mortality rate has been widely confirmed; medical system was not paralyzed due to Covid-19, but due to pandemia priority and breast cancer screening programs have been shut down, with a real impact on womens' health and quality of life. Pandemia gave us the opportunity to rearrange breast screening modality, with the possibility of use social media (f.e. Whatsapp or a dedicated app) to add, cancel of modify an appointment, virtual consultations with a breast radiologist and adding automatized breast ultrasound systems (ABUS) to FFDM (full-field digital mammography) or DBT (digital breast tomosynthesis). A new era of breast cancer screening could raise prevention programs also in low-adhesion population.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
