>> ...
>> Organising Committee and Collaborators, Falun Meeting. "Breast Cancer 
>> screening with mammography in women aged 40-49 years". Int J Cancer 1996;
>> 68: 693-9
>> ...

in BibTeX.  Here is what I'd do for this one:

@Article{OCCFM:1996:BCS,
  author =       "{Organising Committee Collaborators, Falun Meeting}",
  title =        "Breast Cancer screening with mammography in women aged
                 40--49 years",
  journal =      "Int. J. Cancer",
  volume =       "68",
  pages =        "693--699",
  year =         "1996",
  OPTmonth =     "??",
  OPTnumber =    "??",
}

Bracing text in the author field prevents its being further
manipulated by BibTeX.  I also used proper en-dashes for ranges, and
put the periods back into the journal abbreviation (it is a particular
journal style to remove them).
