TL;DR
Screening mammography has similar accuracy among white, Chinese, and Filipino women, although the absolute benefit of screening is likely to be less among Asian women because the rates of invasive cancer are lower compared with white women of similar age.
Abstract
Screening mammography has similar accuracy among white, Chinese, and Filipino women, although the absolute benefit of screening, in terms of breast cancer deaths averted, is likely to be less among Asian women because the rates of invasive cancer are lower compared with white women of similar age. Overdiagnosis of ductal carcinoma in situ with screening mammography among Asian women is likely to be comparable to that of white women because the rate of ductal carcinoma in situ was similar in all the examined ethnic groups.
