The recent report by Stephen Duffy and colleagues sheds light on the relation between the detection of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) and subsequent interval cancer rates. 1 Using data from the UK National Health Service Breast Screening Programme (NHSBSP), the authors report on detection rates of DCIS in women aged 50-69 across four years (2003-07). They also report on interval cancer detection rates in the 36 months after the index screen and examine the effect of detecting DCIS on subsequent interval cancer rates. They estimate that, for DCIS detection rates up to 1.5 per 1000 women screened, there is one fewer invasive interval cancer over the subsequent three years for every three cases of DCIS.The findings support the benefit of detecting DCIS in the context of the UK screening programme, the practices of which are particularly informative but different from those in the United States. Screening in the UK occurs triennially, compared with biennially in most European countries 2 and every 1-2 years in the US. 3 4 The authors addressed this difference by restricting a separate analysis to interval cancers detected within 24 months of the index screen and found no difference in the relation between DCIS and interval cancer rates. In addition, UK quality measures include double reading and a requirement for radiologists interpreting mammograms to read at least 5000 mammograms a year. 5 As a result of the focus on specificity as well as sensitivity, the recall rate in the UK is about half that in the US, and the rate of negative biopsy results is twofold to threefold lower. 6
