Reduction in late‐stage breast cancer incidence in the mammography era: Implications for overdiagnosis of invasive cancer

Mammographic screening is expected to decrease the incidence of late‐stage breast cancer. In the current study, the authors determined the decrease in late‐stage cancer incidence and the changes in invasive cancer incidence that occurred in the mammographic era after adjusting for prescreening temporal trends.
