Abstract
An unsolved problem in the design of a repetitive screening trial is the determination of a procedure which yields the optimal number of screens for efficient evaluation. An approach to this problem described in this paper is to use lead time properties of cases detected at screening to define a stopping rule. Previous results are generalized by allowing the intervals between screens to be arbitrary, and the probability of detecting preclinical disease to vary among screens.
