As controlled trials have demonstrated that in many European
countries breast cancer mortality may be reduced by
population-based mammographic screening of women over the
age of 50, there is mounting pressure to introduce new
service screening programmes. How should these programmes be
planned and monitored ? Is it cost-effective ? We invited
experts whowork with the principal screening programmes in
Europe to answer these questions and to describe their
experiences. Particualr attention has been given to
planning, organisation and monitoring new screening
programmes in order to achieve optimal results.
