    PubMed
    Summary

    This preliminary survey assessed breast cancer screening feasibility in high-risk women using clinical exams and mammography. Findings suggest women often miss early-stage breast cancers, highlighting the need for improved screening awareness.

    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Radiology
    • Public Health

    Background:

    • Early detection of breast cancer is crucial for improving patient prognosis.
    • A two-tier screening system was proposed, involving well-woman clinics and specialized breast screening clinics.
    • Assessing the feasibility of screening high-risk women is essential before system implementation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the feasibility of a preliminary breast cancer screening program for high-risk women.
    • To determine the effectiveness of clinical examination and low-dose mammography in detecting breast malignancies.
    • To understand patient awareness of breast cancer symptoms and self-detection capabilities.

    Main Methods:

    • A preliminary survey was conducted on a high-risk group of 618 women.
    • Screening involved clinical breast examinations and low-dose mammography.
    • Data on detected breast cancers and other malignancies were recorded.

    Main Results:

    • Seven breast cancers were detected, equating to 11.3 per 1000 women screened.
    • One case of Hodgkin's disease was identified.
    • The study indicated that women often do not suspect early-stage breast cancers with the best prognosis, but are aware of larger tumors and benign lesions.

    Conclusions:

    • Clinical examination and low-dose mammography are feasible methods for preliminary breast cancer screening in high-risk populations.
    • The findings underscore a gap in patient awareness regarding subtle, early-stage breast cancer indicators.
    • Further development of targeted screening programs is warranted to improve early detection rates and patient outcomes.
