- Abstract:
- Mammography screening programs in Europe revealed a 25-30% breast cancer mortality reduction in women between 50 and 74 years. Early cancer detection and less radical treatment in dedicated multidisciplinary breast centers have improved breast cancer care. Breast population-based screening (persons are individually identified and personally invited to attend screening) is intended to detect breast cancer at an early stage to enable lower mortality rates. The status of implementation of cancer screening programs among European countries, quality parameters and possible differences will be reviewed. Implementation of the recommended maximum age range was adopted in most programs. Almost all the European countries established digital mammography as the method of screening instead of screen-film mammography. Inequalities in implementation of cancer screening in the European Union have been observed. Improvement of data quality and mortality registries linked to the screening programs are needed.
