Mammography screening, with its primary aim of breast cancer mortality reduction, is well implemented in most OECD member states. Overdiagnosis and overtreatment are often controversially discussed as potential consequences of screening. The objective of this study was to examine whether high mammography screening rates are associated with (a) higher incidence of and (b) lower mortality rates from breast cancer, and (c) higher inpatient mastectomy rates in OECD countries. For this investigation, an ecological study design was chosen. Data of mammography screening rates, standardized incidence and mortality rates of breast cancer and inpatient mastectomy rates were derived from the database OECD.Stat Extracts for 2008 (or nearest year). Bar charts and scatter plots with associated R² were produced. Mammography screening rates showed a broad distribution among OECD states. Specific health indicators were, on average, less favorable in those countries where more women were screened. A high degree of variance explained by screening rates could be found for incidence rates of breast cancer and mastectomy rates (R²=0.522 and R²=0.258, respectively). For mortality rates, this was lower, but of medium size (R²=0.227)(original abstract)
