Survival experience in the breast cancer detection demonstration project

Very high survival rates have been observed in four through 11 years of follow‐up in 4,240 women with a histologically confirmed diagnosis of breast cancer in the Breast Cancer Detection Demonstration Project (BCDDP). The relative five, eight, and 10‐year survival rates were 88, 83, and 79 percent, respectively.
