Table 1.

Survival percentage: women not dying from breast cancer without and with repeated screening over 15 years.

Age No screening* 10% RRR 20% RRR 30% RRR
with screening with screening with screening
40 99.52% 99.57% 99.62% 99.67%
45 99.32% 99.39% 99.45% 99.52%
50 99.12% 99.21% 99.29% 99.38%
55 98.95% 99.06% 99.16% 99.27%

65 98.73% 98.85% 98.98% 99.11%

* Survival percentage without screening is 100 times the complement of the screen-free absolute death risk from Figure 1.

Survival percentage with screening is the same as the reduction in absolute death risk in percentage form from Figure 1 added to column 2 of this table.
