    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Radiology
    • Public Health

    Background:

    • Breast cancer screening programs aim to detect malignancies at earlier, more treatable stages.
    • Early detection is crucial for improving patient outcomes and survival rates.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the effectiveness of a breast cancer screening program utilizing clinical examination and mammography.
    • To determine the cancer detection rate and the proportion of early-stage cancers identified.

    Main Methods:

    • A population of 24,069 women aged 45-64 years participated in the screening.
    • Screening involved clinical breast examination and mammography.
    • Data on cancer detection, biopsy rates, and tumor size were collected.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • A 69% attendance rate was observed for the screening program.
    • The cancer detection rate was 5.5 per 1000 women screened.
    • Ninety-four percent of cancers in screened women and 84% in the total population were detected through screening.
    • Seventy-three percent of screen-detected cancers and 66% of all diagnosed cancers were 2 cm or less.

    Conclusions:

    • The implemented breast cancer screening program demonstrated high efficacy in detecting early-stage cancers.
    • Clinical examination and mammography are effective tools for identifying small-diameter tumors, improving the potential for successful treatment.
