This is the first report from an Australian-first project combining data from the National Bowel Cancer Screening Program, BreastScreen Australia, and the National Cervical Screening Program. It was found that screen-detected breast, cervical and bowel cancers were less likely to cause death than non-screen-detected cancers, with analyses also revealing novel patterns in screening behaviour.
Screen-detected bowel cancers less likely to cause death than bowel cancers diagnosed in people never invited to screen
Screen-detected breast cancers less likely to cause death than breast cancers diagnosed in never-screened women
Screen-detected cervical cancers less likely to cause death than cervical cancers diagnosed in never-screened women
Participation in cervical screening was higher in HPV-vaccinated women than in unvaccinated women
