    Mass population screening for breast cancer using clinical exams and x-ray mammography is feasible. This program can be safely managed by non-medical staff and is well-accepted by the public.

    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Public Health
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Breast cancer screening is crucial for early detection and improved patient outcomes.
    • Assessing the practical implementation of population-wide screening programs is essential.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the feasibility of a mass population screening program for breast cancer.
    • To assess the safety, effectiveness, and public acceptance of clinical examination and x-ray mammography screening.

    Main Methods:

    • The study involved assessing the feasibility of clinical examination and x-ray mammography for mass breast cancer screening.
    • Evaluation included the potential for non-medical staff involvement and radiation safety.
    • Public response rates and impact on surgical services were also analyzed.

    Main Results:

    • The screening program demonstrated feasibility for effective implementation by non-medical staff.
    • The methods were found to be safe, with no significant irradiation dangers.
    • Public response rates indicated high acceptability of the screening service.
    • The screening workload was deemed manageable for existing surgical services.

    Conclusions:

    • Mass population screening for breast cancer via clinical examination and x-ray mammography is a viable and safe public health strategy.
    • The program's public acceptance and manageable workload support its widespread adoption.
