Breast screening remains a controversial issue
A partir d'une revue de la littérature, ce rapport d'un comité d'experts indépendants analyse la controverse concernant les bénéfices et les risques associés au dépistage organisé triennal du cancer du sein au Royaume-Uni chez les femmes âgées de 50 à 70 ans
The Marmot Report, published in full in this issue of British Journal of Cancer (Marmot et al, 2013), examines in detail the value of breast screening. Although a shortened version has been published previously (Independent UK Panel on Breast Cancer Screening, 2012), the Editorial Board felt that this is such an important issue in terms of resources, controversy and cost-benefit analysis, as well as potential patient benefit, that the whole report should be published in full here.
