The Breast Cancer Detection Demonstration Project 25 years later.
The Breast Cancer Detection Demonstration Project was initiated 25 years ago to demonstrate the feasibility of large-scale screening for breast cancer. A retrospective view shows that it has more than fulfilled its mission; among other important accomplishments it has significantly advanced both the notion and science of population-based breast cancer screening and provided a huge data base for epidemiologic research.
