## Abstract Increasing breast cancer survival, observed in most western countries, is not easily interpreted: it could be due to better treatment, more effective treatment due to earlier diagnosis or simply leadβtime bias. Increased diagnostic activity (__e.g.__, screening) can inflate both inciden
The time trends in incidence and mortality from cervical cancer and breast cancer in Iceland, from 1955 to 1989, were analyzed by fitting curvilinear regressions to the agestandardized rates. The effect of the screening was evaluated by comparing the curvature of the fitted regression lines and chan
## Abstract The chromosomal region 11q13 is amplified in 15β20% of breast cancers; an event not only associated with estrogen receptor (ER) expression but also implicated in resistance to endocrine therapy. Coamplifications of the 11q13 and 8p12 regions are common, suggesting synergy between the am
