Risk-stratified breast cancer screening may improve the balance of screening benefits to harms. We assess a potential new harm: reduced screening attendance in women receiving below average-risk (false reassurance) or higher-risk results (screening avoidance). Following initial screening, 26,668 women in the PROCAS study received breast cancer risk estimates, with attendance recorded for two subsequent screening rounds. First-screen attendance was slightly reduced in below-average (85.6%) but not higher-risk women, compared to other women (86.4%). Second-screen attendance increased for women at higher-risk (89.2%) but not below-average, compared to other women (78.8%). Concerns about this potential harm of risk-stratified screening therefore appear unfounded.
风险分层乳腺癌筛查可能会改善筛查的获益与危害之间的平衡。我们评估了一种潜在的新危害:接受低风险(错误保证)或高风险结果(筛查回避)的女性的筛查参与度降低。在初始筛查后,PROCAS 研究中的 26668 名女性收到了乳腺癌风险估计值,并记录了随后两次筛查的参与情况。与其他女性(86.4%)相比,低风险女性(85.6%)但并非高风险女性的首次筛查参与率略有下降。与其他女性(78.8%)相比,高风险女性(89.2%)的第二次筛查参与率有所增加。因此,对风险分层筛查可能产生这种危害的担忧似乎没有根据。
