The audited account consequences give an overall image of the success of the scheme of showing and treatment, rather than a warrant of remedy in every case, as the disease will still come up back in a little figure of women detected early.

In all, 61% of malignant neoplastic diseases detected following a mammogram are given an "excellent" or "good" forecast by docs based on the size of the tumor and how far it have spread.

After treatment, these patients on norm are predicted to have got got the same lifetime as women who have never had cancer.

However, two out of three breast malignant neoplastic diseases are not detected by screening, and these are not covered by the audited account results.

Professor Julietta Patnick, who runs the New Hampshires Breast Screening Programme, said that the extension of the strategy by 2012 to cover more than women would increase the figure establish early.

"Huge paces have got got been made over the past two decades, and more than women than ever before are surviving breast cancer, many of whom have benefited from early detection."

Mr St Martin Lee, the President of the Association of Breast Surgery, who also helped draw up the report, said it was "vital" that women were aware of the endurance rates for breast malignant neoplastic diseases detected early.

"I would promote all women who are invited to be screened to attend," he said.

Increased demand

The study also looked at long-term survival for women with more than aggressive malignant neoplastic diseases already past the early phases of development - those not given an "excellent" or "good" forecast after being detected during screening.

Fifteen old age after diagnosis, 86% of these women were still alive, and specializers state that endurance is likely to have got improved even additional since then.

Dr Alexis Willett from Discovery Breast Cancer said: "It's excellent news that women with early breast malignant neoplastic disease establish through showing can dwell as long as those never affected by the disease.

"As more than women go eligible to attend, breast showing services will confront increased demand.

"Sufficient resources must be set in topographic point to ran into this challenge so even more than women can profit from this life economy service."
