We surveyed women's primary care clinicians to assess how the interval breast cancers were found and factors associated with their discovery.RESULTS Women with interval cancers were twice as likely to have a personal history of breast cancer (30.1%) as women with screen-detected cancers (13.6%).

Having a lump and both a personal and a family history of breast cancer was the most common reason why women initiated a health care visit (44%) (P
