| Abstract | Background/aim Breast cancer is the most common female malignancy in the world. Nearly ninety percent of screening-detected breast cancers were diagnosed with earlier stages of 0 to II in Taiwan. It’s widely acknowledged that mammography screening of breast cancer can achieve the goal of early diagnosis and treatment in terms of preventive task while neglected interval cancers are associated with unfavorable tumor characteristics and worse outcomes. The purpose of this study was to explore the characteristics of screening-detected breast cancers in Taiwan. Materials and methods Both screening and diagnostic mammography examinations with accompanied BI-RADS (breast imaging-reporting and data system) classification were extracted from the health information system and linked to cancer registry in Taiwan. Enrolled population included those attending their first mammography between 2012 and 2016, excluding subjects with previous breast cancer, or with missing or incomplete data. We compared treatment outcomes between breast cancers with either initial screening or diagnostic mammography (control group), and investigated the compositions of breast cancers detected by screening mammography through direct chart reviews. Results A total of 84,246 screening and 61,230 diagnostic mammography sessions were performed from 2010 to 2020. More positive results (BI-RADS 0, 3, 4 and 5) were observed for those attending the first diagnostic than the first screening mammography (43.58% versus 16.12%, p < 0.001). Earlier stages (0 and I) distribution (92% versus 81%, p < 0.0001), better survivorship (overall survival: 96.91% versus 92.17%, p = 0.007) and a lower HER2 (human epidermal growth factor receptor II) positive status and lower tumor grade were noted in breast cancers with initial screening rather than diagnostic mammography. Among 26,103 mammography screening invitees between 2012 and 2016, 325 breast cancers were ascertained from cancer registry. Of these, 234 had one, 72 had two and 19 had three episodes of mammography before cancer diagnosis. Extensive chart reviews revealed that women with and without breast symptoms constituted 29.9 and 70.1% of the 325 screening-detected breast cancers, with the latter further divided into false negative results (interval cancer), diagnosed at the first mammography, diagnostic at the secondary or subsequent mammography and those with a delayed biopsy or confirmatory imaging constituted (5.2, 47, 10.5 and 7.4%). Conclusion Screening-detected breast cancers were a mixture of women with and without symptoms, those with a false negative result, true negative results with cancer detected at subsequent mammography and non-adherers. Despite this, efficacy of mammography screening was ascertained in Taiwan from this study. To further enhance earlier detection and decrease false negativity, the impact of repeated mammography, and additional sonography for symptomatic women, compliance following a positive screening mammography should not be overemphasized. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
