Organized mammography screening was implemented in Bavaria in 2003, with a target population of about 1.5 million women (aged 50-69 years). We evaluated the population-based effects of mammography screening on the distribution of tumor-node-metastasis (TNM)-T categories with regard to different histological subgroups of breast cancer.
