  • dc.description.abstract BACKGROUND: We assessed the long-term risk of screen-detected and interval breast cancer in women with a first or second false-positive screening result. METHODS: Joint analysis had been performed using individual-level data from three population-based screening programs in Europe (Copenhagen in Denmark, Norway, and Spain). Overall, 75,513 screened women aged 50-69 years from Denmark (1991-2010), 556,640 from Norway (1996-2008), and 517,314 from Spain (1994-2010) were included. We used partly conditional Cox hazards models to assess the association between false-positive results and the risk of subsequent screen-detected and interval cancer. RESULTS: During follow-up, 1,149,467 women underwent 3,510,450 screening exams, and 10,623 screen-detected and 5700 interval cancers were diagnosed. Compared to women with negative tests, those with false-positive results had a two-fold risk of screen-detected (HR = 2.04, 95% CI: 1.93-2.16) and interval cancer (HR = 2.18, 95% CI: 2.02-2.34). Women with a second false-positive result had over a four-fold risk of screen-detected and interval cancer (HR = 4.71, 95% CI: 3.81-5.83 and HR = 4.22, 95% CI: 3.27-5.46, respectively). Women remained at an elevated risk for 12 years after the false-positive result. CONCLUSIONS: Women with prior false-positive results had an increased risk of screen-detected and interval cancer for over a decade. This information should be considered to design personalised screening strategies based on individual risk.
