Glossary Assessment consists of the further investigation of a mammographic abnormality reported at screening. Early review, early recall or extended assessment refers to a woman who is assessed and not cleared for routine rescreening, but is referred for further assessment within 12 months of the index screen. Initial screening includes all who attend BSA for the first time. Also referred to as first round screening. Rescreening refers to the next screening examination after the screening episode in the index screening year being evaluated. A screening episode consists of the screening examination and assessment, if necessary. For the purpose of determining interval cancer rates, early review, early recall or extended assessment within 12 months of initial screen is not considered part of the screening episode. Subsequent screening includes all who have previously been screened by BSA. Symptoms refer to the self-report of a breast lump and/or blood-stained or watery nipple discharge.
