The Dutch Population-Based Mammography Screening: 30-Year Experience
نویسندگان
چکیده
Zusammenfassung Basierend auf den Ergebnissen der beiden Mammographie-Pilotprojekte zur Brustkrebsfrüherkennung in Nijmegen and Utrecht wurde 1989 in den Niederlanden ein bevölkerungsbezogenes Programm ins Leben gerufen. Die Hauptcharakteristika des Programms sind die zentralisierte Organisation, einschließlich der zentralisierten technischen und medizinischen Qualitätskontrolle und Überprüfung, Untersuchungen im Abstand von 2 Jahren sowie ein zur Teilnahme berechtigendes Alter von 50–74 Jahren. Das Nationale Expertenund Trainingszentrum in Nijmegen ist für die technische und medizinische Qualitätskontrolle verantwortlich, während das Nationale Evaluationsteam in Rotterdam die Datensammlung und jährliche Berichtserstattung der Ergebnisse des Programms beaufsichtigt. Nach 15 Jahren kann das niederländische Programm zur Brustkrebsfrüherkennung als eine effektive Gesundheitsvorsorgemaßnahme zu akzeptablen Kosten bezeichnet werden. Eine neue Herausforderung für das niederländische Programm ist der geplante Übergang von Analogzu Digitalscreening innerhalb der nächsten 2 Jahre. Dies stellt ein logistisches Unterfangen von erheblichem Ausmaß mit vielen unvorhersehbaren Hindernissen dar.
