Italy Mammography Market Trends

Factors such as the increasing prevalence of breast cancer coupled with increasing research studies are expected to increase the market growth. A new method called breast tomosynthesis, commonly known as digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT)/3D mammography, aids in the radiologists' capacity to detect breast cancer. These mammography techniques combine several two-dimensional images to create a three-dimensional representation of the breast. Italy has been working to create cutting-edge mammography technologies. Tomosynthesis and 3D mammography were initially combined in Italy within Europe. The most recent figures released by the International Agency for Research on Cancer issued GLOBOCAN 2020 report help to explain the high incidence of breast cancer. It estimates that in Italy, the five-year prevalence of breast cancer will be 223,090 in 2020. The high burden of cancer is anticipated to increase the number of women seeking mammography treatments since breast cancer can be checked in clinics. This will increase these clinics' demand for mammography equipment. This should accelerate market growth during the course of the forecast. The use of breast tomosynthesis technology greatly improves cancer detection rates while lowering false-positive rates. In the article "Repeat Screening Outcomes with Digital Breast Tomosynthesis Plus Synthetic Mammography for Breast Cancer Detection: Results from the Prospective Verona Pilot Study," written by Francesca Caumo and published in 2020, it was noted that when used in conjunction with repeat screening, digital breast tomosynthesis plus synthetic mammography revealed more cancers than full-field digital mammography (FFDM) and fewer stage II cancers than FFDM. These studies demonstrate that tomosynthesis is more effective than digital screening technologies in detecting breast tumors, fueling the market's expansion in the nation. Thus, the abovementioned factors are expected to increase market growth.
