Bobo et al. (p. 971) analyzed data from 752,081 clinical breast examinations (CBEs) from the National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program to determine the percentage of CBEs considered abnormal (suspicious for cancer), the rates of cancer detection, and the sensitivity and specificity of CBEs. They report that 6.9% (about one in 15) of all CBEs were coded as abnormal, and they found that five cancers were detected per 1000 CBEs. They determined that the sensitivity and specificity were comparable to those reported for the
