Breast Cancer Screening Reduces Deaths

The number of women dying from breast cancer decreases. But researchers do not assume that mammography screening are responsible. That in many countries fall in the number of women who die from breast cancer, according to one study is not necessarily a consequence of mammography screening. More likely it is that new treatments and a better health system would have helped the researchers write in the online edition of the journal "British Medical Journal".

The team of scientists from France, Norway and Great Britain was in the study based on the assumption that the number who died from breast cancer of women in countries where the screening had been introduced some time ago to become more reduced than in other states.

A radiologist considered X-ray images of a female breast. Mammography is a method for early detection of breast cancer

Accordingly, they formed three pairs of countries - Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, the Netherlands and Belgium, Sweden and Norway. The states have a comparable health system, the risk of developing breast cancer, were also judged to be similar. However, in each country of a second pair of countries, mammography screening between ten and 15 years later, as introduced in the first.

The evaluation between 1989 and 2006 by the World Health Organization (WHO) collected data on breast cancer and mortality in different countries showed no significant abnormalities. Even compared to other countries, there were no major differences - regardless of whether the screening had been introduced sooner or later.
