TL;DR: It is considered that the interpretation by Jorgensen, Keen, and Gotzsche, of the balance of benefi ts and harms to be scientifi cally unsound, and women would be better served by focusing on how best, and not whether, to provide breast screening.

The Impact of Mammography Screening on the Diagnosis and Management of Early-Phase Breast Cancer
Laszlo Tabar,Peter B. Dean,Tony Hsiu Hsi Chen,Amy Ming Fang Yen,Sherry Yueh Hsia Chiu,Tibor Tot,Robert A. Smith,Stephen W. Duffy +7 more
TL;DR: This chapter provides a comprehensive review of the conflicting theories concerning better control of breast cancer and suggests that adding the mammographic tumor features to the current histologic prognostic features improves the prediction of long-term patient outcome and facilitates treatment planning.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hemoccult should no longer be used for the screening of colorectal cancer
TL;DR: Reduced mortality in the annually screened group was accompanied by improved survival and a shift to detection at an earlier stage of cancer, which was similar to that of the patients in the control group.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cancer mortality in the 50 - 69 year age group before and after screening
Stephen W. Duffy,Laszlo Tabar,Anne Helene Olsen,B Vitak,P Allgood,Tony Hsiu Hsi Chen,Amf Yen,Robert A. Smith +7 more
TL;DR: It is believed that Tabár founded Mammography Education Inc, Arizona in 1980, which still exists, and in 1999, he declared an income of five million SEK in Sweden, which is an extraordinary amount according to Nordic standards, and an important conflict of interest should be declared.

Randomised controlled trial of faecal-occult-blood screening for colorectal cancer
Jack D. Hardcastle,Jocelyn Chamberlain,Michael Robinson,Sue Moss,Satya S Amar,Tom Balfour,Peter D. James,Christine M Mangham +7 more
TL;DR: Evidence from this study and other trials suggest that consideration should be given to a national programme of FOB screening to reduce CRC mortality in the general population.
Journal ArticleDOI
Randomised study of screening for colorectal cancer with faecal-occult-blood test
TL;DR: The findings indicate that biennial screening by FOB tests can reduce CRC mortality, and the effect of the removal of more precursor adenomas in the screening-group participants than in controls on CRC incidence.
