The tale of a ‘pontianak’ – a ghost – her anguish and her revenge – a tale told and retold in S-E Asia and here given a new interpretation. In Shadows (Dalam Bayang-Bayang) is the work of numerous collaborators, each bringing their diverse backgrounds and cultures together to create this presentation.

1 INTRODUCTION In the United Kingdom, the National Health Service (NHS) Breast Screening Programme offers routine mammographic screening every 3 years to all women aged 50–70. Among women who attend for routine mammography around two thirds of breast cancers are detected at screening, and around one third are detected symptomatically in the interval between screens.1 An interval cancer may arise because it was missed at screening.

Abstract Background Ethnic minority women are commonly reported to have more aggressive breast cancer than White women, but there is little contemporary national evidence available. Methods We analysed data from the National Cancer Registration and Analysis Service on women diagnosed with invasive breast cancer during 2013–2018.
