Analysis of cancers missed at screening mammography.
Abstract
Analysis of 320 cancers found in a screened population between August 1985 and May 1990 revealed 77 cancers that were "missed" at screening mammography. The missed lesions consisted of cancers incorrectly diagnosed after mammography (false-negative results) but visible in retrospect (n = 19); cancers correctly diagnosed after mammography but visible in retrospect on an earlier mammogram (n = 47); and cancers that went undetected by the first of two readers (n = 11). Missed lesions were categorized according to type of miss, reason for the miss, breast density, lesion features, and lesion location. The missed lesion were compared with 121 cancers that were correctly diagnosed at screening mammography. The missed cancers occurred in women with denser breasts (P = .046), were less likely to demonstrate malignant microcalcifications, and were more likely to demonstrate a developing opacity as an indication of cancer (P = .005). An understanding of the characteristics of missed lesions may be a valuable aid in increasing the sensitivity of screening mammography.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
