Triple-negative and HER2-positive breast cancers found by mammography screening show excellent prognosis

ConclusionIn the 50 –69 age group, the majority of HER2 + and TN cancers can be found by a quality assured population-based mammography screening. Despite their generally aggressive behavior, after a median follow-up of 8 years, distant disease-free survival was over 90% of these cancers detected by screening. T he worst prognosis of these cancers was in women who did not participate in screening.
