    Summary

    Early breast cancer detection using combined screening methods identified 106 cancers in nearly 14,000 women. Over 45% of these cancers were clinically occult, highlighting the value of multimodal screening for improving breast cancer survival rates.

    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Radiology
    • Public Health

    Background:

    • Breast cancer diagnosis relies on various screening methods.
    • Early detection significantly impacts patient outcomes and survival rates.
    • Multimodal screening approaches aim to improve diagnostic accuracy.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the initial 18-month experience of a Breast Diagnostic Center.
    • To assess the effectiveness of combined screening techniques for breast cancer detection.
    • To determine the incidence of breast cancer and the proportion of clinically occult cases.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of patient data from the Breast Diagnostic Center.
    • Screening of almost 14,000 women using clinical examination, xeroradiography, and thermography.

  • Analysis of detected breast cancer cases, including clinical presentation and lymph node metastasis.

    • Main Results:

    • 106 breast cancer cases were discovered among nearly 14,000 screened women (incidence of ~8 per 1000).
    • 45.3% of detected cancers were clinically occult, not identified by clinical examination alone.
    • A small percentage of these occult cases showed axillary lymph node metastases at mastectomy.

    Conclusions:

    • Combining clinical examination, xeroradiography, and thermography enhances early breast cancer detection reliability.
    • Multimodal screening strategies are crucial for identifying clinically occult breast cancers.
    • Such comprehensive screening programs hold potential for reducing breast cancer mortality rates.
