Summary: Women in Denmark are invited to participate in breast, cervical, and colorectal cancer screening in their fifties and sixties. However, despite high participation rates, only a small proportion of women undergo screening for all three cancers, with many remaining unscreened for certain cancers. The heterogeneity of cancer-specific patterns suggests a need for a reevaluation of current screening practices.

Summary: The CanScreen5 project is a global cancer screening data repository that aims to report the status and performance of breast, cervical and colorectal cancer screening programs across different countries. The data collected showed better overall organization of screening programs in Europe compared to other continents, but there were gaps in implementation across both high- and low-resource settings.

Summary: The study investigated radiologists' interpretation scores of screening mammograms prior to the diagnosis of screen-detected and interval breast cancers classified as missed or true negative. Results showed that 31% of missed screen-detected cancers and 21% of interval cancers had discordant or concordant positive interpretation at prior screening. Positive interpretation at prior screening was associated with an increased risk of missed breast cancer.

Summary: This study evaluated mammographic features in women with benign breast disease (BBD) and their risk of subsequent breast cancer. Different BBD subtypes showed distinct mammographic findings, with women showing architectural distortion, multiple findings, asymmetries, and calcifications having a higher risk of subsequent breast cancer compared to those with masses.

Summary: This study analyzed the results of the Goteborg randomized prostate cancer screening trial over 22 years and found that prostate specific antigen-based screening can significantly reduce prostate cancer mortality. However, not attending screening, starting after age 60, and stopping at age 70 may increase the risk of prostate cancer death.

Summary: This study evaluated colonoscopy utilization among Hispanic patients with a culturally tailored patient navigation program, showing an 85% completion rate of colonoscopy with no difference between males and females. Implementation of a CTPNP is an effective intervention to improve the CC rate and eliminate the historical gender gap in utilization among Hispanic patients.

Summary: This study used a large number of cancer cases to estimate sensitivity and specificity for various cut-off values in CRC screening using FIT. The optimal cut-off value in an FIT population-based screening program is 45 ng Hb/ml when sensitivity and specificity are equally weighted. However, alternative optimal cut-off values of 125/80/175/350 ng Hb/ml are suggested if a lower number of colonoscopies are accepted to find one cancer.

Summary: The aim of this study was to describe the level of pre-testing and contamination in the Goteborg-1 prostate cancer screening trial. The results showed that similar proportions of men were prostate specific antigen-tested in both the screening group and control group, yet only a minority of contamination prostate specific antigens led to biopsy. Organized screening was found to be more effective in reducing prostate cancer mortality than non-organized testing.

Summary: This study examined whether colonoscopy quality measures other than adenoma detection rate (ADR) are associated with colorectal cancer (CRC) risk and death. The results showed that all quality measures, including ADR, polyp detection rate (PDR), advanced adenoma detection rate (AADR), number of adenomas per colonoscopy (APC), and number of adenomas per colonoscopy with at least one adenoma (APPC), were significantly associated with CRC risk and death.

Summary: The study reveals that breast cancers originate from three different fibroglandular tissue components, and classifying them according to their site of origin helps overcome inconsistencies in current histopathologic terminology.

Summary: Proteus Donna is a randomized controlled trial that evaluates the effectiveness of digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) in breast cancer screening. The study found that DBT detected slightly more cancers over the follow-up period, but the detection rate decreased in subsequent screenings. However, there was an increase in false positives and moderate overdiagnosis.

Summary: In their 2021 update, the USPSTF emphasized the need for further research on the benefits and harms of risk model-based lung cancer screening strategies. This comparative modeling analysis found that risk model-based screening strategies were more cost-effective than the USPSTF recommendation, with a 6-year risk threshold of 1.2% or greater being the most cost-effective.

Summary: Women's decision-making and adherence regarding participation in breast cancer screening are influenced by previous false-positive (FP) results. This study aimed to provide comprehensive information on the cumulative risks of FP recall and screen-detected breast cancer over multiple screening examinations. The data from the Dutch screening registry were analyzed, and it was found that after seven examinations, the cumulative risk of a true-positive (TP) result was 3.7%, while the cumulative risk of a FP result was 9.1%. Following a FP result, participation was lower, and more TP results, interval cancers, and FP results were found compared to women with true negative (TN) results.

Summary: The study aims to address the impact of organizational and cultural barriers on breast cancer screening, specifically low attendance in Southern Italy and underscreening and overscreening in Italy as a whole. Investing in mobile screening units to increase adherence in Southern Italy is cost-effective. Harmonizing the screening interval and investing in measures to reduce opportunistic screening and mobile screening units can save costs while maintaining the same benefits.

Summary: Expanding lung cancer screening to include individuals who formerly smoked and have quit smoking for more than 15 years would result in considerable increases in deaths averted and life-years gained. Although a modest increase in additional harms would occur, these could be moderated by ensuring that screening is restricted only to those with reasonable life expectancy.

Summary: Breast cancer deaths occur in a minority of breast cancers (45%) and are associated with specific subtypes of breast cancer. High mortality rates are observed in patients with multifocal acinar adenocarcinoma of the breast, diffusely invasive breast cancers of ductal origin, and breast malignancies of mesenchymal hybrid cell origin. It is important to reevaluate the histopathologic terminology, enhance imaging techniques, and implement multidisciplinary management for preventing these fatal events.

Summary: This study evaluates the cost-effectiveness of lung cancer screening strategies in Switzerland and finds that risk-based screening is more cost-effective than pack-year-based screening. The most efficient strategy is biennial screening for ever-smokers aged 55 to 80 with a 1.6% risk. This strategy can significantly reduce lung cancer mortality and has a lower cost per QALY gained compared to pack-year-based screening.

Summary: The objective of this study was to develop and validate a screening instrument for child maltreatment in the emergency department. The researchers developed the Screening instrument for Child Abuse and Neglect (SCAN) based on data from three large observational screening studies in the Netherlands. The SCAN was validated through cross-validation and demonstrated a good discriminative ability in identifying child maltreatment.
