Progress in screening for early breast cancer.

L H Baker, T D Chin, K V Wagner

    Journal of Surgical Oncology
    |October 1, 1985
    PubMed
    Summary

    Ten years of the Breast Cancer Detection Demonstration Projects (BCDDP) show combined mammography and physical exams effectively detect early breast cancer. However, progress in breast cancer screening remains slow due to complex issues.

    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Radiology
    • Public Health

    Background:

    • The Breast Cancer Detection Demonstration Projects (BCDDP) were initiated by the American Cancer Society and National Cancer Institute.
    • The BCDDP aimed to evaluate various screening methods for unsuspected breast cancer in women.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the effectiveness of mammography, physical examination, thermography, and breast self-examination in breast cancer screening.
    • To develop criteria for evaluating population-based cancer screening programs.
    • To analyze the progress and challenges in breast cancer screening over a decade.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized data from the Breast Cancer Detection Demonstration Projects (BCDDP).
    • Evaluated screening techniques including mammography, physical examination, thermography, and breast self-examination.
    • Developed criteria for assessing population screening efficacy in cancer control.

    Main Results:

    • Combined physical examination and mammography demonstrated significant success in early breast cancer detection.
    • Despite increased screening programs, overall progress in breast cancer screening has been gradual.
    • The complexities and subtleties of breast cancer screening have become apparent.

    Conclusions:

    • Combined physical examination and mammography are valuable tools for early breast cancer detection.
    • The implementation and advancement of widespread breast cancer screening face significant challenges.
    • Further research and refined strategies are needed to overcome the complexities in breast cancer screening programs.
