However, its impact on overall screening performance within population\u2010based screening programs is less well understood.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This retrospective cohort study included women aged 50\u201374\u2009years screened through BreastScreen NSW between 1 January 2016 and 31 December 2017, excluding first\u2010time screeners above 70. Breast density was assessed using Lunit INSIGHT MMG (v1.1.7) generating an ordinal density score (1\u201310) and corresponding BI\u2010RADS category (A\u2013D). Screen\u2010detected and interval cancers were ascertained via the NSW BreastScreen Information System and the NSW Cancer Registry. Standard screening performance metrics were calculated stratified by age, breast density and screening round.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The cohort comprised 564,681 screening episodes, with 4758 cancers diagnosed (3756 screen\u2010detected; 1002 interval). Cancer incidence rates and screening performance varied by breast density. The proportion of cancers that were interval cancers increased markedly with increasing density, from 10.9% of cancers in category A (least dense) to 46.6% in category D. Recall rates followed an N\u2010shaped pattern, peaking in density category C, while specificity mirrored this relationship.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The effectiveness of conventional two\u2010dimensional mammography is strongly dependent on breast density, with reduced sensitivity and increased interval cancer rates for clients with extremely dense breasts. By utilising a more granular measure of breast density in a large population screening cohort, this study identified nonlinear relationships between breast density and screening performance metrics, providing evidence to support future evaluation of more individualised screening approaches.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1155\/tbj\/9750357","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,3]],"date-time":"2026-09-03T16:17:57Z","timestamp":1788452277000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Assessing the Effect of Breast Density on Screening Performance in a Population\u2010Based Program"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2026","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0003-8540-6615","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Chirag","family":"Mistry","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-0520-0135","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Richard","family":"Walton","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0003-7056-2551","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Matthew","family":"Warner-Smith","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kan","family":"Ren","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6442-4409","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"David","family":"Roder","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bronwyn","family":"Morley","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5759-6162","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tracey","family":"O\u2019Brien","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_12_1_2","volume-title":"Cancer Data in Australia","author":"Australian Institute of Health and Welfare","year":"2025"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_2_2","volume-title":"Breast Cancer Statistics in Australia","author":"Breast Cancer Network Australia"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/cancers12040976"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/cncr.32859"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7150\/ijbs.21635"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2147\/BCTT.S176070"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMoa062790"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1158\/1055-9965.EPI-06-0034"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1158\/1055-9965.EPI-06-0738"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.breast.2022.09.007"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1259\/bjr.20211197"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00330-022-08617-6"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_13_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1148\/rg.352140106"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_14_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ejrad.2018.11.012"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_15_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7326\/0003-4819-138-3-200302040-00008"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_16_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/1754-9485.70146"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_17_2","volume-title":"BreastScreen Australia Position Statement on Mammographic (Breast) Density and Screening.
