“…The aim of this study was to survey knowledge, attitudes, and behavior regarding various aspects of cancer. Selection criteria, sample size, methods, and questionnaires were identical in 1995 and 2005 [16][17][18][19].…”

Understanding trends in population perceptions of cancer is essential in identifying groups that may benefit from more targeted strategies in cancer prevention and detection. We report the prevalence of knowledge and attitudes with respect to various aspects of cancer in two independent national probability samples of 4,073 Austrian adults aged 15 years or above, and we describe the association of these variables with age, gender, marital status, and education. In-home interviews were conducted in September 1995 and in August 2005. Perceptions of cancer causes, positive personal experiences with cancer cures, and knowledge of cancer cures and causes generally improved across all groups. Those with less education were less likely to believe that cancer could be cured in 1995, a difference that resolved in 2005. Less encouragingly, education-based disparities persisted for factors such as knowledge of the importance of early detection in cancer cure and experiences with cancer cures. Differences in other subgroups, although existent, were only modest. Prevention education strategies should consider targeted approaches that aim to reduce disparities in cancer perception among those with less formal education.

“…In parallel, substantial improvements in survivals were observed in the 1980s in Austria. Positive effects of secondary prevention through mammography screening may have played less of a role in the 1980s as uptake started to increase from 1995 on only 18 . Further, later improvements may be related to the centralisation of breast cancer management and the introduction of further treatment breakthroughs, such as taxanes (1994), trastuzumab (1998) and aromatase-inhibitors (2004) 17 .…”

“…A further notable result from our analysis are decreases in localised stage breast cancer incidence between 2012 and 2017, despite the introduction of invitational screening in 2014. A previously active opportunistic, referral-based programme (established in 1972) showed increasing participation from the mid-1990s on with 81.9% in 2005 16 , 18 . Thus, the increases in localised breast cancer incidence before 2012, and decreases after 2012, may be a result of a “harvesting” effect from increasing mammography screening use from 1995 on.…”

Breast cancer (BC) is the most commonly diagnosed malignant disease and the leading cause of cancer death in women in Austria. We investigated overall and subgroup-specific female breast cancer rates to provide a comprehensive analysis of trends over several decades. Incidence, mortality, and survival, as well as age-, stage-, and birth cohort-specific incidence were analysed using nationwide cancer registry data on 163,694 cases of female breast cancer in Austria (1983–2017). Annual percentage changes were estimated using joinpoint regression. BC incidence underwent linear increases until 1997 and reversed with statistically non-significant declines until 2017. After initial increases in BC-specific mortality, rates were stable from 1989 through 1995 and started declining thereafter, although statistically non-significantly after 2011. Overall BC-specific survivals, as well as survivals according to the calendar period of diagnosis, increased throughout the observation period. Incidence in younger women (aged 44 and lower) showed linear increases, whereas for women aged 45 and higher mostly stable or decreasing rates were observed. Localised BC incidence increased markedly and started declining only in 2012. Distant disease-BC incidence decreased through the whole observation period and incidence of regionalised BC started declining in 2000. Birth cohort-specific incidence peaked in women born between 1935 and 1949 (ages 45–74). In conclusion, the incidence of BC in younger women is increasing, while overall female BC incidence and mortality are stable with non-significant declines. Further, increases in the incidence of early-stage BC (localised) seem disproportionately high in comparison to more modest decreases in late-stage BC incidence (regionalised and distant disease).

“…In zwei repräsentativen Querschnittsstudien haben wir die Inanspruchnahme der ScreeningMammografie in den Jahren 1995 und 2005 in den Altersgruppen 40-79 Jahre untersucht [2,5]. Im Jahr 2005 gaben 92 % der Befragten (1995: 58 %) an, zumindest einmal in ihrem Leben eine ScreeningMammografie in Anspruch genommen zu haben.…”

With regards to the planned reorganisation of screening mammography in Austria - from an opportunistic to an organised system - the problems related with such a change are depicted from an epidemiological point of view. We were able to demonstrate earlier that opportunistic screening mammography matches the results of controlled screening mammography in Finland and Sweden. Switching to a controlled system in Austria would - besides the need for a change in legislation - lead to enormous expenditures in terms of resources needed and moreover, it could be not evaluated for years.
