Were Our Estimates of Overdiagnosis With Mammography Screening 
in the United States “Based on Faulty Science”?

“…Ironically, increased awareness confers less opportunity for screening mammography to reduce the incidence of advanced cancer. Moreover, retrospective analyses of the trials have revealed deficiencies such as more surgery and radiation in women randomized to be screened and differential misclassification of cause of death in the favor of the screened group [48][49][50].…”

Radiation risk of breast screening in England with digital mammography

“…There are several publications 11,[28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37] which have estimated mortality reduction due to breast screening, which are summarized in Table 2. Since the mortality reduction in the population invited to screening found in the literature was mainly 20% with a range of 15-30% in the invited population, this value and range have been used in this work.…”
