Mammography Screening and Breast Cancer Mortality—Response

Abstract: We thank Drs. Autier and Boniol for their comment raised on the outcome of our case-control study on the impact of mammography screening on the risk of death from breast cancer, but we feel that the methodologic limitations inherent to the case-control design are small.Aarts and colleagues (1) indeed showed that the participation rate among women of high socioeconomic status (SES) is somewhat higher than those of low SES (87% vs. 79%), in the Netherlands mostly coinciding with women of non-Western ethnic desce… Show more
