Overdiagnosis in Mammographic Screening because of Competing Risk of Death.
BACKGROUND Different definitions and estimates of overdiagnosis in mammographic screening reflect a substantial need to investigate and understand the complexity of the issue. This modeling study aims to estimate the number of overdiagnosed women, defined as those diagnosed with breast cancer who die from any cause within the lead-time period. METHODS We used numbers from incidence and death ...
متن کاملExtrapolation of pre-screening trends: Impact of assumptions on overdiagnosis estimates by mammographic screening.
BACKGROUND Overdiagnosis by mammographic screening is defined as the excess in breast cancer incidence in the presence of screening compared to the incidence in the absence of screening. The latter is often estimated by extrapolating the pre-screening incidence trend. The aim of this theoretical study is to investigate the impact of assumptions in extrapolating the pre-screening incidence trend...
متن کاملCherry-picking of evidence fails to accurately show extent of overdiagnosis: Mammographic screening harms understated
It was with disappointment that I read the review of mammographic screening by Lee and Peters in Volume 60, Issue 1 of the Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences. The article clearly demonstrated bias which is inherent when staff of a program reviews the efficacy of their own program, resulting in findings incongruent with those found by those without vested interests. Lee and Peters reported th...
متن کاملOverdiagnosis in mammographic screening for breast cancer in Europe: a literature review.
OBJECTIVES Overdiagnosis, the detection through screening of a breast cancer that would never have been identified in the lifetime of the woman, is an adverse outcome of screening. We aimed to determine an estimate range for overdiagnosis of breast cancer in European mammographic service screening programmes. METHODS We conducted a literature review of observational studies that provided esti...
متن کاملConceptualizing overdiagnosis in cancer screening.
The aim of cancer screening is to detect asymptomatic cancers whose treatment will result in extension of life, relative to length of life absent screening. Unfortunately, cancer screening also results in overdiagnosis, the detection of cancers that, in the absence of screening, would not present symptomatically during one's lifetime. Thus, their detection and subsequent treatment is unnecessar...
