Over the next 10 to 11 years, there were 131 breast cancer deaths in the self-exam group, and 135 breast cancer deaths in the control group. The authors concluded that "intensive instruction in breast self-exam did not reduce mortality from breast cancer." What were the rates of breast cancer deaths in the two groups per 100,000 women?
