(by five year age groups from 50-54 to 75-79), the effect of screening being restricted to certain age groups.Setting: England and Wales.Subjects: Women aged 40 to 79[ ]years.Results: Compared with predicted mortality in the absence of screening or other effects the total reduction in ...

The NHS Breast Screening Programme is celebrating 20 years of screening this year, and in all randomized controlled trials of women aged 50 and over, mortality from breast cancer is reduced in those offered screening compared with unscreened controls (although the reduction is not statistically ...

Attendance ≤5 years before diagnosis was associated with a 47% reduction in breast cancer mortality after self-selection correction (OR = 0.53, 95% CI: 0.46-0.62, P < 0.001). Breast cancer mortality reduction associated with ITS was 21% in both the case-control and cohort analyses...
