Methods: Participants were identified through the Janus Serum Bank cohort in Norway and were eligible for this cross-sectional validation study if they participated in a health survey issued by BreastScreen Norway between 2006 and 2015.
Importance: Early breast cancer detection is associated with lower morbidity and mortality.
Objective: To examine whether a commercial artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm for breast cancer detection could estimate the development of future cancer.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This retrospective cohort study of 116 495 women aged 50 to 69 years with no prior history of breast cancer before they underwent at least 3 consecutive biennial screening examinations used scores from an AI algorithm (INSIGHT MMG, version 1.
Objectives: To explore how women aged 50-69 invited to BreastScreen Norway perceived the information provided along with the invitation letter, as well as time spent on reading this information.
Methods: An anonymous questionnaire was sent, as a paper-based form along with a physical invitation letter, or as a link to a digital form in a digital invitation letter, to 84,543 women invited to BreastScreen Norway in 2022. The paper-based forms were handed in upon screening attendance.
Introduction: We have previously shown that immigrants have lower attendance in BreastScreen Norway than non-immigrants and that non-Western immigrants have lower incidence of breast cancer, but more advanced disease.
Purpose: To compare breast cancer-specific survival for immigrants versus non-immigrants diagnosed with screen-detected or symptomatic breast cancer.
Material And Methods: We analyzed data from 28,320 women aged 50-69 diagnosed with breast cancer after being invited to BreastScreen Norway.
