Breast cancer screening programmes have been integrated in a systematic way into the public health policies of numerous countries. Breast cancer is indeed one of the (rare) health issues which answers the criteria necessary to organize a screening on a large scale. The different methods of diagnosis and the results of various strategies (based on randomized controlled trials and meta-analysis) are described and compared. This reveals that the Belgian policy in this matter is and remains founded today: a standardized mammotest every 2 years for all women from 50 to 69.
乳腺癌筛查项目已被系统地纳入众多国家的公共卫生政策中。乳腺癌确实是(为数不多的)符合大规模组织筛查所需标准的健康问题之一。文中描述并比较了不同的诊断方法以及各种策略(基于随机对照试验和荟萃分析)的结果。这表明比利时在这方面的政策在今天仍然是有依据的:为所有50至69岁的女性每两年进行一次标准化的乳房X线检查。
