Cancer screening in East Sussex, by W. J. Wigfield, published January 1976 in Public Health (vol. 90, issue 2, article, pp.65-73)
Abstract:This paper examines what has been achieved in East Sussex since cancer screening started in 1966. The statistics for registered cases of carcinoma of breast and of cervix have been analysed, and related to the work of the cancer screening clinics. The incidence of both diseases is falling, but this is not due to screening. More early cases of breast cancer, and fewer late cases, are now being found but this is not so with cervical cancer. The mass screening of symptomless women at special screening clinics is no longer economic.
