Background:

  • Established in 1970 by the American Cancer Society, the committee aimed to replicate successful early-detection programs.
  • Expanded in 1971 due to increased funding from the Conquest of Cancer Act, becoming a large-scale demonstration project.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the effectiveness of early detection methods for breast cancer.
  • To evaluate the impact of annual examinations and breast self-examination education on a large cohort.

Main Methods:

  • The Breast Cancer Detection Demonstration Project involved 27 centers and 280,000 women examined annually for 5 years.
  • Data collection included medical history, physical examinations, mammograms, and thermograms (later removed).
  • Computer analysis was used for continuous data evaluation, with a focus on two age groups: 35-49 and 50-75 years.
