False positive findings of mammography will have psychological consequences EDITOR,-We applaud E Lidbrink and colleagues' attempts to quantify the substantial disadvantages of false positive findings in patients invited to attend for breast screening.' Clearly, a financial cost of over £250 000 from a single round of screening at a well organised centre in Stockholm represents a huge sum that could have been better spent, though to us the more important feature of the report relates to the adverse psychological events. The authors state that they did not study the "possible adverse psychological consequences of the false positive mammograms in these women," but experience from daily life teaches us that nothing is so corrosive and enervating as a persisting uncertainty about the possibility of serious illness or upset. After six months only two thirds of the women (219/342) had been declared free of cancer, so one third must have spent even longer under the sword of Damocles. Many of the malignant lesions proved ultimately to be non-invasive-23% and 29% in the first and second rounds respectively. Since we do not know that identification and early treatment of these tumours lead to a worthwhile survival benefit, the true value of the screening must have been correspondingly reduced. Finally, we are forced to wonder whether some of the centres that pride themselves on having low ratios of benign to malignant findings on biopsy in Britain might be those with the worst record for prolonging the period before declaring patients free of cancer so that they increase their specificity ranking.
