Mass screening for breast cancer.

R Abe, A Sakuma, K Yoshida

    The Tohoku Journal of Experimental Medicine
    |October 1, 1983
    PubMed
    Summary

    Mass breast cancer screening in Miyagi Prefecture since 1977 showed varying detection rates. Cancer Detection Centers identified significantly more cases (2.4%) compared to residential (0.1%) and vocational screenings (0.2%).

    Area of Science:

    • Public Health
    • Oncology
    • Diagnostic Imaging

    Background:

    • Mass breast cancer screening programs have been active in Miyagi Prefecture since 1977.
    • Key screening activities include itinerant residential screening, group screening for female workers, and routine examinations at Cancer Detection Centers.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the effectiveness of different breast cancer mass screening procedures.
    • To analyze detection rates across various screening modalities in Miyagi Prefecture.

    Main Methods:

    • Data from 49,114 participants in residential screenings, 6,725 in vocational screenings, and 3,055 at Cancer Detection Centers were analyzed.
    • Comparison of breast cancer detection rates across the three screening methods.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • Breast cancer was detected in 51 cases (0.1%) via itinerant residential screening.
    • 14 cases (0.2%) were detected through group screening of female workers.
    • 73 cases (2.4%) were identified during routine examinations at the Cancer Detection Center.

    Conclusions:

    • Cancer Detection Centers demonstrated a substantially higher breast cancer detection rate compared to residential and vocational screenings.
    • The findings highlight the importance of varied screening approaches and suggest areas for optimizing early breast cancer detection strategies.
