Intervention name:
Risk based screening
Description:
Women randomised to the individualised screening arm and judged to be at high risk will
be invited to a contrast enhanced mammography and a mammography after 12 months. The
intervention is thus a different selection of women compared to what is done today.

Summary:
SMART is a Phase III, randomised, non-blinded screening trial. Women who consent to
participate in SMART are randomised to either individualised screening or screening
according to the Swedish National Breast Cancer Screening Program. Women randomised to
individualised screening get their 2-year risk of breast cancer assessed and women with
the highest short-term risk are offered contrast enhanced mammography and a mammogram at
12 months.
Detailed description:
Aims: The overarching aim of SMART is to compare the effectiveness of current screening
practice with individualised breast cancer screening. In SMART women who recently had a
normal mammogram will be randomised to either age based or individualised screening.
Women randomised to individualised screening will have their 2-year breast cancer risk
assessed upfront. This is done via an artificial intelligence (AI) derived analyses of
the mammograms. Women scored with the highest 2-year risk will be offered a contrast
enhanced mammography and an additional mammography at 12 months. The possible benefits of
individualised screening will be contrasted to the possible harms defined as unnecessary
recalls, biopsies and induced anxiety and worry.
Primary Objectives: The primary benefit endpoint is a comparison of the proportion of
interval cancers in the intervention and comparison group. The primary safety endpoint is
the number of screen-initiated recalls and biopsies which do not lead to a cancer
diagnosis.
Secondary Objectives: The secondary benefit endpoint is a comparison of the tumor
characteristics of diagnosed cancers in the intervention and comparison group. The
investigators will also compare differences in cancer worry, anxiety and / or depression
between the intervention and control groups.
Explorative Objectives: To describe the possible side effects related to contrast
enhanced mammography and compare them to those experienced after an ordinary mammogram.
Cost-effectiveness as measured using incremental cost-effectiveness ratio and
willingness-to-pay amount.
Primary Endpoint: For women at high 2-year risk in the intervention arm interval cancers
are defined as cancers diagnosed in the interval between contrast enhanced mammography
(CEM) and 12-month mammogram plus in the interval between 12- and 24-month interval. For
the remaining women in the trial interval cancers are defined as cancers diagnosed
between baseline mammography and 24-month mammography.
Information on date of diagnosis and mode of detection (screen detected or interval
cancer) is derived from the National Quality Registry for Breast Cancer. To certify the
correct diagnosis, the investigators will also use the electronic medical records, Take
Care, at Södersjukhuset. Information on number of recalled women and number of biopsies
will gathered from the Radiation Information System at the hospital.
Secondary Endpoint: Information on date of diagnosis and tumour characteristics (eg.
stage, receptor status) is derived from the National Quality Registry for Breast Cancer.
The investigators will compare how the screening modalities are perceived using answers
from the self-reported Cancer Worry Scale and State Trait Anxiety Inventory.
Explorative Endpoint: The possible side effects related to contrast enhanced mammography
and ordinary mammography will be identified using the self-reported Test Morbidity Index.
Study design: SMART is a Phase III, randomised, non-blinded screening trial. Women who
consent to participate in SMART are randomised to either individualised screening or
screening according to the Swedish National Breast Cancer Screening Program. Women
randomised to individualised screening get their 2-year risk of breast cancer assessed
and women with the highest short-term risk are offered contrast enhanced mammography and
a mammogram at 12 months.
Study population: Women invited for screening according to the Swedish National Breast
Cancer Screening Program at Södersjukhuset, that is, age range 40 - 74 years of age, will
be invited to participate in SMART.
Number of included participants: Participants will be matched 1:1 with 35,000 women in
each arm.
Intervention: Women randomised to the individualised screening arm and judged to be at
high risk will be invited to a contrast enhanced mammography and a mammography after 12
months. The intervention is thus a different selection of women compared to what is done
today.
Study Duration: There will be two database locks in SMART. The primary lock is done after
approximately four years and two months. Women participating in SMART are part of the
initial recruitment phase for a total of two years. They perform mammograms at baseline
and 24 months. Adding the 2 year follow up for the lastly recruited participant makes a
full trial period 4 years in total, with a further two months allowed to capture women
whose scan is delayed. After two months the investigators will consider that screening
visit to have been missed. The number of high-risk women will be slightly more than 6,000
in each arm (see 10.1 Population / Power). In addition, a second data lock will be
performed after 8 years and two months from the start of the trial, that is, after a
fourth round of screens (baseline plus 3 routine follow up mammograms). The same
objectives and endpoints will be addressed as after the first data base lock with the
exception of questionnaire data. Questionnaire data will only be collected between
baseline and the next screen in 24 months. SMART will start in 2024, recruit women for 2
years and follow all women for 6 years. The study will thus end in 2032.
Criteria for eligibility:
Criteria:
Inclusion Criteria:
- Have read, understood and signed the informed consent
- Perform breast cancer screening at Södersjukhuset
- Females in the age range 40 - 74 years at baseline mammography
- Using a smartphone or tablet with BankID
Exclusion Criteria:
- Pregnant, breast feeding or planning to become pregnant.
- Previous breast cancer
- A medical condition that according to the responsible physician would negatively
affect the health of the women.
- Cognitive impairment and / or language ability that would make it difficult for the
participant to understand the implication of study and to perform a contrast
mammography.
For women that will be offered contrast enhanced mammography the clinically accepted and
applied exclusion criteria will be used. Women who cannot perform a contrast mammography
will be offered an automated ultrasound.
