Effectiveness of and overdiagnosis from mammography screening in the Netherlands : population based study

Conclusions: Fifteen years after the screening programme started, this study supports an important decrease in breast cancer mortality due to the screening programme, with

Background: Incidence-based mortality modelling comparing the risk of breast cancer death in screened and unscreened women in nine Swedish counties has suggested a 39% risk reduction

Our extensive sensitivity analysis of all variables in the model confirms that both breast cancer incidence and mortality play a major role in the health economic outcome, whereas

Methods: A Markov model was created to compare annual breast cancer screening over 25 years with either breast MRI or mammography among young women at high risk.. Data from

Of the remaining cognitive variables, perceived susceptibility to breast cancer (Health Belief Model construct) and perceived behavioral control (Theory of Planned Behavior

Introduction Mammography screening reduces breast cancer mortality through earlier diagnosis but may convey further benefit if screening is associated with optimized treatment

The initial cohort of 22,484 women have completed 3 years in the study and show a higher than expected annual incidence rate of breast cancer.. There is no significant difference in

Finally, in this study we have found six factors as predictors of mammography screening among Isfahanian women 40 years and older: menopause age, ever heard/read about breast
