Abstract

Purpose The Canadian Task Force on Preventive Health Care released recommendations for breast cancer screening, in part, based on harms associated with screening. The purpose of this study was to describe the rate of false-positive (FP) screening mammograms and to describe the extent of the investigations after an FP

Methods A cohort was identified that consisted of all screening mammograms performed through the Screening Program (2000-2011) with patients ages 40-69 years at screening. Rates of FP screening mammograms were calculated as well as rates of further investigations required, including additional imaging, needle core biopsy, and surgery. Analyses were stratified by 10-year age group, screening status (first vs rescreen), and technology.
