Journal ArticleDOI

Impact of transition from analog screening mammography to digital screening mammography on screening outcome in The Netherlands: a population-based study

TL;DR: FFDM significantly increased the referral rate and cancer detection rate, at the expense of a lower positive predictive value of referral and biopsy, while increased over-diagnosis cannot be excluded.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inter-observer variability in mammography screening and effect of type and number of readers on screening outcome

TL;DR: It is concluded that screener performance significantly varied at single-reading, and when there is a shortage of screening radiologists, triple reading by one radiologist and two radiographers may replace radiologist double-reading.
Journal ArticleDOI

Characteristics and prognosis of interval cancers after biennial screen-film or full-field digital screening mammography

TL;DR: The characteristics and prognosis of interval breast cancers at screen-film (SFM) and full-field digital (FFDM) screening mammography determined, and interval cancer subgroups showed comparable overall survival.
Journal ArticleDOI

Geographical relationships between sociodemographic factors and incidence of cervical cancer in the Netherlands 1989–2003

TL;DR: The finding that lower SES is associated with more advanced cancer and consequently worse survival, emphasizes the importance of future cervical cancer prevention programmes targeted at women of lower S ES who do not participate in opportunistic screening.
