Screening Mammography Examinations: mammography examinations indicated by the radiologist to be for screening, with bilateral routine views
done and no other mammogram within the last 9 months, among women without breast implants.

*  Cancers = The number of cancers diagnosed within 1 year following an examination with an abnormal initial interpretation
(BI-RADS 0, 4, or 5; Note: 3 with a recommendation for immediate follow-up was recoded as 0).

†  Numbers in parentheses are percentages of all cancers.

‡  Numbers in parentheses are percentages of invasive cancers of known size.

§  Minimal cancer = DCIS or invasive cancer 1-10 mm; numbers in parentheses are percentages of DCIS + invasive cancer of known size.

||  Numbers in parentheses are percentages of invasive cancers of known nodal status.

#  Numbers in parentheses are percentages of DCIS + invasive cancers of known stage.
