Abstract:
Breast screening for cancer has increased the survival for women over age 50 as well as those younger than 50 years old. The 13-year average follow-up period disproves the claim that the survival gain is due to lead-time bias. The information brought forth in this presentation proves that higher-risk women must be screened in order to reduce the constant death rate from breast cancer.
