Design Primary analysis: four year cost effectiveness analysis based directly on results from
a randomised controlled trial in which patients were individually allocated to invitation to
ultrasound screening (intervention) or to a control group not offered screening. Secondary
analysis: projection of the data, based on conservative assumptions, to indicate likely cost
effectiveness at 10 years. Setting Four centres in the United Kingdom. Screening delivered
in primary care settings with follow up and surgery offered in the main hospitals
