While breast screening reduces breast cancer deaths by finding cancers earlier, it may also find cancers that would never have required treatment. Currently there is no clear consensus about the level over-diagnosis. This study will examine the extent of over-diagnosis by comparing the breast screening histories of women diagnosed with breast cancer and women who have not had breast cancer. Findings will inform policy on breast screening in Australia.

虽然乳腺癌筛查通过早期发现癌症来减少乳腺癌死亡，但它也可能发现永远不需要治疗的癌症。目前，关于过度诊断的程度还没有明确的共识。这项研究将通过比较被诊断患有乳腺癌的妇女和未患乳腺癌的妇女的乳房筛查史来检查过度诊断的程度。研究结果将为澳大利亚的乳腺筛查政策提供信息。
