Abstract: | The authors state their opinion on this problem by analyzing their 5-year use of their programme specially developed for detection of breast disease, mainly cancer, among females visiting specialized rooms of non-mammological profiles (gastroenterology, endocrinology, rheumatology, pulmonology, neurology, cardiology, hematology, nephrology, etc.) in the consulting polyclinics of regional (territorial) hospitals and large city hospital-polyclinic complexes. In this period, mammographic studies were made in 9169 women included into a breast cancer-risk group. Of them 1370 young female patients with well-developed glandular tissue that makes mammographic diagnosis of presumed masses difficult underwent breast ultrasonography. Abnormalities were found in 6092 (66.44%) patients. Breast cancer and nodal benign masses (including cysts and fibroadenomas) were detected in 278 (3.03%) and 669 (7.30%) women, respectively. The detection rates of unpalpable breast malignant and benign masses carcinomas were 0.4 and 3.03%, respectively. The findings allow the authors to recommend their proposed screening programme for wide use in large regional (territoreal), city, and town polyclinic complexes. |
