Interpreting Overdiagnosis Estimates in Population-based Mammography Screening
Estimates of overdiagnosis in mammography screening range from 1% to 54%. This review explains such variations using gradual implementation of mammography screening in the Netherlands as an example. Breast cancer incidence without screening was predicted with a micro-simulation model. Observed breast cancer incidence (including ductal carcinoma in situ and invasive breast cancer) was modeled an...
متن کاملOverdiagnosis among women attending a population-based mammography screening program
Increased incidence of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) and invasive breast cancer (IBC) after introduction of organized screening has prompted debate about overdiagnosis.

Women invited to the Norwegian B...

We have now been screening women for 14 years, and during a...
