Rapid responses are electronic comments to the editor. They enable our users
to debate issues raised in articles published on bmj.com. A rapid response
is first posted online. If you need the URL (web address) of an individual
response, simply click on the response headline and copy the URL from the
browser window. A proportion of responses will, after editing, be published
online and in the print journal as letters, which are indexed in PubMed.
Rapid responses are not indexed in PubMed and they are not journal articles.
The BMJ reserves the right to remove responses which are being
wilfully misrepresented as published articles or when it is brought to our
attention that a response spreads misinformation.
From March 2022, the word limit for rapid responses will be 600 words not
including references and author details. We will no longer post responses
that exceed this limit.
The word limit for letters selected from posted responses remains 300 words.
While the article is most informative and quite enlightening when
given the numbers in a clear and realistic manner I was hoping to locate an
area where the statistics for prevention modalities were incorporated into
the article. While it is clear that numbers can be made to seem as one
directs to different audiences, I wonder why the statistics of prevention
do not appear. What are the numbers dealing with women who have yearly
mammography vs those who do not? Why not also address the mortality of
those who perform self exam vs those who choose to ignore and then whay
about the routine gynecologist or intern who may be not as experienced in breast
pathology as they exam a breast during a routine examination vs an
experienced breast surgeon. Which of these preventive modalities leads to a greater chance of
detection and survival? The begining of the story is missing!
What about statistics of Mammography?
