Fig. 1 — Total number of breast cancer diagnoses declined in 2020. Predicted (dark blue) and observed (light blue) number of cases, and the difference between predicted and observed (orange line) of invasive BC, DCIS and LCIS by year (A) and by month in 2020 (B; no data for LCIS because of low numbers). Difference between observed and predicted number of cases of invasive BC, DCIS and LCIS by pandemic phase in 2020 (C). Error bars represent 95% confidence intervals. Differences between observed and predicted number of cases are significant if the 95% confidence interval does not contain 0. BC = Breast cancer. DCIS = Ductal carcinoma in situ. LCIS = Lobular carcinoma in situ
