Estimated health outcomes of breast cancer screening in the national breast and cervical cancer early detection program by race/ethnicity.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To estimate the number of screenings received, life-years (LYs) saved, and number of screenings per LY saved per woman who participated in the National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program (NBCCEDP) (Program) compared with those who did not participate (no Program).

Methods

We developed a time-to-event simulation model to compare the outcomes of women participating in the Program vs. no Program, categorized by race/ethnicity. Model input parameters included data from the Program's minimum data elements, United States Cancer Statistics, National Health Interview Survey, and published literature. The Program's impact was calculated as the difference in LYs between the Program and no Program using data from 2010 to 2019.
