Mexico's breast cancer screening program shows low performance, with insufficient capacity to screen the target population of women aged 40-69. Key performance indicators reveal significant gaps in coverage and timely treatment initiation for breast cancer detection.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Public Health
  • Health Services Research

Context:

  • The study evaluates the 2017 breast cancer early detection program by Mexico's Ministry of Health.
  • Performance is assessed using six process indicators against 2011 data and World Health Organization standards.
  • Analysis includes national-level data and stratification by socioeconomic marginalization.

Purpose:

  • To analyze the performance of Mexico's breast cancer screening program in 2017.
  • To compare key process indicators with 2011 data and international benchmarks.
  • To identify deficiencies in screening, diagnosis, and treatment initiation.

Summary:

  • The program demonstrated low performance across multiple indicators.
  • Coverage for mammography screening was 38.1%, with only 13.3% of cases receiving specialized evaluation.

  • Fewer than 40% of eligible women were screened, and less than 6% had biopsies for confirmed malignancy.

    • Impact:

    • The findings indicate insufficient capacity to screen the intended population of women aged 40-69.
    • There is a critical need to improve infrastructure, coverage, and follow-up processes.
    • Enhancements are crucial for effective breast cancer prevention and control in Mexico.
