Conditions for Valid Empirical Estimates of Cancer Overdiagnosis in Randomized Trials and Population Studies

Cancer overdiagnosis is frequently estimated using the excess incidence in a screened group relative to that in an unscreened group. However, conditions for unbiased estimation are poorly understood. We developed a mathematical framework to project the effects of screening on the incidence of releva...
