Abstract
A retrospective search was performed of interval cancers in the Progra ma de Prevencion de Cancer de Mama de la Comunidad Valenciana. The can cer rate observed was 0.5 per 1,000 women studied. The mean diagnostic time from the first mammography was 11 months, and the most frequent detection means was a positive palpation. The frequency was higher in women aged less than 55 years. More <<non-common>> histologic types we re found and a lower percentage of conservative therapies regarding ca ncers detected at the first round of the Program, although the stage w as similar to the latter.
