Abstract
Comparing rates of interval cancer with those reported in the literature is difficult because different groups have reported the data using different methods and the populations studied have different age compositions. The rates reported today, however, are higher than the rate of 9.4/10000 in the Swedish two county trial2 and are very similar to the rates reported from the Nijmegen (15.7/10000)3 and Stockholm (19.2/10000) trials.4 In Nijmegen in the eight successive screening rounds …Keywords
