Objective To compare the prognosis in women with interval breast cancer (cancer detected after a normal screening mammogram and before the next scheduled mammogram) with breast cancer detected among women not yet invited to mammography screening (non-screened). Design Population based observational study. Setting Norwegian breast cancer screening programme, implemented in different counties fro...

INTRODUCTION Breast cancer is the most common cancer and the second principal cause of cancer death in women as well as the most common cause of death in Iranian women aged 35-55 years. Detection of breast cancer in its early stages is amenable to almost complete cure. Breast cancer screening comprises breast self-examination (BSE), clinical breast examination (CBE) and mammography. The study a...

Good primary care now includes routine screening for breast cancer among appropriate age-groups of women patients. Virtually all expert groups recommend breast cancer screening. During the past several decades, these recommendations have been translated into increasingly higher percentages of women getting breast cancer screening. 1-3 By 1995, a national study found that 70% of women aged 40 ye...

595 variably refer patients with dense breasts for whole-breast ultrasound screening, with some practices referring 100% of such women and others referring none. Furthermore, only 45% of Connecticut women who were referred for follow-up ultrasonography actually received it.5 Still, breast-density legislation provides an opportunity to strengthen patient–provider relationships by encouraging phy...

IMPORTANCE Screening mammography rates vary considerably by location in the United States, providing a natural opportunity to investigate the associations of screening with breast cancer incidence and mortality, which are subjects of debate. OBJECTIVE To examine the associations between rates of modern screening mammography and the incidence of breast cancer, mortality from breast cancer, and...

Still there is a passionate debate in medical world about the best screening method for Breast Cancer. Early detection is an effective way to diagnose and manage breast cancer. Mammography is the most widely used screening modality, with solid evidence of benefit for women aged 40 to 74 years.

INTRODUCTION Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed type of cancer among women in China. However, China does not have a national screening program or national screening guidelines. Little information on participation in breast cancer screening among Chinese women is available. METHODS We used data from the 2010 China Chronic Disease and Risk Factor Surveillance System that included 53...

BACKGROUND Breast cancer screening can reduce morbidity and mortality and improve the survival rate for this malignancy. Low participation in screening programs has been attributable to many factors including lack of knowledge. The aim of this study was to assess breast cancer screening knowledge, attitudes and practices among women of screening age (≥40 years old) in the city of Al Ain, United...

The Singapore Breast Screening Project (1993-1996) showed that mammographic screening in Singaporean women shifts the size and stage of screen-detected breast cancers downwards and markedly increases the rate of detection of ductal carcinoma in situ, with acceptable recall, needle biopsy and interval cancer rates. Breast cancer is the leading cause of death in Singaporean women. Singapore has o...
