Overview
Assessment of the effect of breast-cancer screening has been hampered by difficulty in measuring secular trends. In this study, data from a cancer registry were used to determine secular trends and to evaluate the effect of screening on breast-cancer mortality.
On the basis of several randomized clinical trials,

the World Health Organization concluded in 2002 that screening mammography for women between the ages of 50 and 69 years reduced the rate of death from breast cancer by 25%.

Nevertheless, the use of screening mammography is still debated, chiefly because of concern regarding methodologic limitations in some of the randomized trials.

The main challenge in quantifying the reduction in mortality from nonrandomized screening programs is . . .
