  		Figure 1. Graph shows time to detection and proportion of cancers in first screening examinations with a PBF assessment. Most cancers associated with a recommendation for short-interval follow-up are detected within 12 months of a screening examination. After 12 months, the detection of cancer is constant over time. NA = not applicable.
