Background
It is of paramount importance to evaluate the impact of participation in organized mammography service screening independently from changes in breast cancer treatment. This can be done by measuring the incidence of fatal breast cancer, which is based on the date of diagnosis and not on the date of death.
Methods
Among 549,091 women, covering approximately 30% of the Swedish screening‐eligible...
Background
Women and their health care providers need a reliable answer to this important question: If a woman chooses to participate in regular mammography screening, then how much will this choice improve her chances of avoiding a death from breast cancer compared with women who choose not to participate?
Methods
To answer this question, we used comprehensive registries for population, screening...
BACKGROUND
To reduce oral cancer mortality, an organized, population‐based screening program for the early detection of oral premalignancy and oral cancer was designed for high‐risk individuals with habits of betel quid chewing, cigarette smoking, or both. The objective of this report was to evaluate the long‐term effectiveness of this program in reducing the incidence of advanced disease and deaths...
BACKGROUNDThe effectiveness of fecal immunochemical testing (FIT) in reducing colorectal cancer (CRC) mortality has not yet been fully assessed in a large, population‐based service screening program.
METHODSA prospective cohort study of the follow‐up of approximately 5 million Taiwanese from 2004 to 2009 was conducted to compare CRC mortality for an exposed (screened) group and an unexposed (unscreened)...
BACKGROUND:The prognostic significance of molecular phenotype in breast cancer is well established in the literature. Recent studies have demonstrated that subgross lesion distribution (unifocal, multifocal, and diffuse) and disease extent also carry prognostic significance in this disease. However, the correlation of molecular phenotypes with subgross parameters has not yet been investigated in detail...
BACKGROUND:This study estimated the excess incidence (overdiagnosis) of breast cancer associated with starting mammographic screening at an earlier age, by using data from the Dalarna County component of the Swedish Two‐County Trial of breast cancer screening.
METHODS:In Dalarna County, Sweden, 38,589 women aged 40 to 74 years were randomized to invitation to regular mammographic screening (active...
