This book was released on 2005-09-27 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mammography is an important tool for detecting breast cancer at an early stage. When coupled with appropriate treatment, early detection can reduce breast cancer mortality. At the request of Congress, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) commissioned a study to examine the current practice of mammography and breast cancer detection, with a focus on the FDA's oversight via the Mammography Quality Standards Act (MQSA), to identify areas in need of improvement. Enacted in 1993, MQSA provides a general framework for ensuring national quality standards in facilities performing screening mammography, requires that each mammography facility be accredited and certified, and mandates that facilities will undergo annual inspections. This book recommends strategies for achieving continued progress in assuring mammography quality, including changes to MQSA regulation, as well as approaches that do not fall within the purview of MQSA. Specifically, this book provides recommendations aimed at improving mammography interpretation; revising MQSA regulations, inspections, and enforcement; ensuring an adequate workforce for breast cancer screening and diagnosis; and improving breast imaging quality beyond mammography.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pursuant to a legislative requirement, GAO examined whether the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) implementation of the Mammography Quality Standards Act has had any effect on the: (1) quality of mammography services; and (2) access to such services. GAO found that: (1) the act has had a positive effect on the quality of mammography services; (2) a uniformed set of standards for mammography services is required in all states; (3) many facilities have had to improve their services in order to become fully certified; (4) annual inspections of mammography facilities help ensure that these facilities are in compliance with the standards set by the American College of Radiology; (5) the number of facilities ceasing mammography services rather than complying with the quality standards is relatively small; and (6) FDA has not closed many of the facilities unable to meet the new certification requirements, but it has given them time to comply with the new quality assurance requirements and to correct the problems found during inspection
