«Breaking News» Women who get a ‘false positive’ at a breast screening 'more likely to develop the disease'

Women who get a ‘false positive’ at a breast screening are twice as likely to be diagnosed with breast cancer later in life, researchers have found.

UK females aged 50 to 70 are invited for mammograms every three years. In one in five cases, these flag up potential problems and they are asked back for more tests, but then get an all-clear from a biopsy.

A study published yesterday in the British Journal of Cancer says this ‘false positive’ result raises the likelihood of a real diagnosis from 2 per cent to 4 per cent, and the increased risk lasts for 12 years.

A study in the British Journal of Cancer, the 'false positive' result increases the likelihood of a real diagnosis from 2 to 4 per cent over the next 12 years 

However, Georgina Hill of Cancer Research UK said most women who receive a false positive do not go on to develop the potentially deadly disease

Experts think this may be because factors that make scans harder to read, such as obesity or dense breast tissue, also raise women’s cancer risk.

They want those who get a false positive to be scanned more frequently afterwards.

The authors, from Barcelona’s Health Services in Chronic Disease Research Network and the University of Copenhagen, wrote: ‘This information should be considered to design personalised screening strategies based on individual risk.’ They stress that the absolute risks are still tiny.

Baroness Delyth Morgan, of the charity Breast Cancer Now, said: ‘These could be really important findings. Our risk of breast cancer can depend on a combination of our genes, family history, lifestyle, reproductive history and breast density. We are hopeful that tailoring screening to a woman’s individual risk could one day help detect more cases earlier.’

However, Cancer Research UK warned the data was too inconclusive to think about changing the screening programme. Georgina Hill from the charity said: ‘It may be that women are more likely to notice breast changes after a false positive result.

‘It’s important to remember that most women who are given a false positive result do not go on to develop breast cancer.’

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
