<p>The UK National Screening Committee (UK NSC) plans to review the evidence for risk
stratification in breast screening, to tailor it more closely to an individual’s risk
of cancer, rather than the current population-based approach.</p><p> </p><p>In 2019,
the UK NSC reviewed the benefit of additional screening with ultrasound after a negative
mammography screening, for women with dense breasts. The Committee concluded that
there was insufficient evidence to recommend additional ultrasound screening at that
time.</p><p> </p><p>The Breast Screening Risk Adaptive Imaging for Density trial is
looking into the use of supplementary imaging techniques for women within the standard
breast screening programme, who are found to have radiographically dense breast tissue.
The UK NSC will review this evidence when it becomes available.</p>
