Trends in breast cancer mortality in Sweden before and after implementation of mammography screening.

<h4>Background</h4>Incidence-based mortality modelling comparing the risk of breast cancer death in screened and unscreened women in nine Swedish counties has suggested a 39% risk reduction in women 40 to 69 years old after introduction of mammography screening in the 1980s and 1990s.<...
