We aimed to assess respective independent contributions of overdiagnosis and curation to long-term survival of breast cancer. Methods: We elucidated this thorny issue by using a Swedish Dalarna cohort with long-term follow-up of 1346 invasive breast cancers from 1996 onwards together with a zero (cured or overdiagnosis)-inflated model design and analysis. The zero part represents both types of non-progressive cancer without potential of dying from BC, the cured due to effective treatment and the over-diagnosed due to mammography screening. These two types can be distinguished by the provision of information on detection modes (screen-detected cases and interval cancer plus cancers from non-participants). The count part represents the progressive breast cancer with potential of dying from BC depending on prognostic factors during follow-up. Findings: The probability for non-progressive BC (the zero part) was 56·14% including 44·34% due to the curation after early detection and initial treatment and 11·80% due to overdiagnosis resulting from mammography screening program (8·94%) and high awareness (2·86%). Among 43·86% progressive BC (the count part), 32·11% undergoing subsequent adjuvant therapies still remained alive after 15-years of follow-up when adjusting for significant prognostic factors. The 15-year prognosis-adjusted cumulative survival of BC was dropped from 88·25% to 74·80% after correcting for the zero-inflated part of overdiagnosis. Interpretation. The proposed zero-inflated model design and analysis together with information on detection mode with 15 years of follow-up revealed 76% survivors of BC due to the curation resulting from mammography screening and accompanying effective treatment and therapy and 12% due to overdiagnosis.
