Evaluation of reader performance during interpretation of breast cancer screening: the Recall and detection Of breast Cancer in Screening (ROCS) trial study design.

ABSTRACT: The magnitude of the tradeoff between recall rate (RR) and cancer detection rate (CDR) in breast-cancer screening is not clear, and it is expected to depend on target population and screening program characteristics. Multi-reader multi-case research studies, which may be used to estimate this tradeoff, rely on enriched datasets with artificially high prevalence rates, which may bias the results. Furthermore, readers participating in research studies are subject to "laboratory" effects, which can alter their performance relative to actual practice. The Recall and detection Of breast Cancer in Screening (ROCS) trial uses a novel data acquisition system that minimizes these limitations while obtaining an estimate of the RR-CDR curve during actual practice in the Dutch National Breast Cancer S
