Breast cancer screening in Japan faces low mammography compliance despite rising rates. Quality control measures and ongoing debates highlight the need to assess screening effectiveness for better breast cancer detection and mortality reduction.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Public Health
  • Radiology

Context:

  • Increasing breast cancer incidence and mortality rates in Japan necessitate efficient screening.
  • Introduction of biennial mammography alongside clinical breast examination for women aged 50+ in 2000.
  • Low initial compliance rates for mammography screening (less than 1%) compared to clinical breast examination alone (6.5%) and the USA (65%).

Purpose:

  • To address the urgent need for an effective breast cancer screening system in Japan.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of mammography screening in the Japanese context, considering quality control and international controversies.
  • To inform the development and implementation of improved breast cancer screening strategies.

Summary:

  • Japan introduced biennial mammography screening for women over 50, but compliance remains very low.

  • A central committee was established to ensure quality control in mammographic screening, including training healthcare professionals.
  • Despite some controversial findings, major reviews confirm mammography's effectiveness in reducing breast cancer mortality, underscoring the need for its assessment in Japan.

    • Impact:

    • Highlights the challenges in implementing mammography screening programs effectively.
    • Emphasizes the critical role of quality control and professional training in screening effectiveness.
    • Informs future public health policies regarding breast cancer screening strategies in Japan and potentially other regions facing similar challenges.
