Strong Increase

As populations of developed countries are aging, the number of older women with breast cancer will strongly increase. Randomized controlled trials in breast cancer screening rarely included patients over the age of 68. As a consequence, there is no solid evidence for beneficial effects of breast cancer screening in older women. In a recent observational study, we showed that the implementation of screening in women aged 70–75 in the Netherlands resulted in a strong increase of the incidence of early-stage breast cancer, while the incidence of advanced stage breast cancer barely decreased. Hence, current data do not support population-based screening in women over the age of 70.
