THE ROLE OF SCREENING IN THE EARLY DETECTION OF BREAST CANCER: A CONTEMPORARY PERSPECTIVE

Abstract
Malignant neoplasms of the breast remain one of the leading causes of death rate among women. Screening programs aim to detect the disease before the onset of clinical symptoms, significantly improving therapeutic intervention outcomes. This article reviews modern approaches to breast cancer preventive diagnostics, including X-ray breast imaging, sonographic examination diagnostics, magnetic resonance imaging, and tomosynthesis. It also discusses the prospects of implementing individualized preventive diagnostics strategies and artificial intelligence technologies in imaging diagnostics.Keywords
breast cancer, prevention, X-ray breast imaging, imaging, sonographic examination, magnetic resonance imaging, tomosynthesis.
