BACKGROUND: Breast cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related mortality among women above 50 years of age. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed at identifying the prevalence and trend of breast cancer screening among selected Asian countries. METHODS: We searched three databases including, PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus using our search terms. Two independent reviewers screened titles and abstracts applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria specified in the PROSPERO (registration ID: CRD42023401516) and any conflicts were resolved through discussion. Two independent reviewers and conflicts also completed the full-text screening, which was solved. Relevant information was extracted in an Excel sheet and random effects meta-analysis was performed to identify the pooled estimate of breast cancer screening in Asia using Stata 17. RESULTS: We identified 41 studies from 14 selected Asian countries reporting breast cancer screening rates from 2012-2023. The pooled estimate of four countries (China, Iran, Japan, and Korea) with more than three data points on clinical breast examination and mammographic screening showed a screening rate of 24% (95% CI: 0.20 - 0.27) and 18% (95% CI: (0.14 - 0.21) in the last ten years respectively. CONCLUSION: Most Asian countries do not have sufficient data on breast cancer screening due to a lack of nationally representative surveys or national-level cancer registries. Therefore, it is crucial to strengthen cancer control policies including breast cancer screening programs.
背景:乳腺癌是导致 50 岁以上女性癌症相关死亡的主要原因之一。本系统评价和荟萃分析旨在确定选定亚洲国家乳腺癌筛查的流行率和趋势。
方法:我们使用搜索词在三个数据库(PubMed、Web of Science 和 Scopus)中进行了搜索。两名独立的审查员应用 PROSPERO(注册号:CRD42023401516)中指定的纳入和排除标准筛选标题和摘要,如果存在任何冲突,则通过讨论解决。两名独立的审查员和冲突也完成了全文筛选,该筛选通过讨论解决。将相关信息提取到 Excel 工作表中,并使用 Stata 17 进行随机效应荟萃分析,以确定亚洲乳腺癌筛查的汇总估计值。
结果:我们从 14 个选定的亚洲国家中确定了 41 项研究,这些研究报告了 2012-2023 年乳腺癌筛查率。四个国家(中国、伊朗、日本和韩国)有超过三个关于临床乳房检查和乳房 X 线筛查的数据点,汇总估计值显示筛查率分别为 24%(95%CI:0.20-0.27)和 18%(95%CI:(0.14-0.21)在过去十年中。
结论:由于缺乏全国代表性调查或国家级癌症登记处,大多数亚洲国家没有足够的乳腺癌筛查数据。因此,加强癌症控制政策,包括乳腺癌筛查计划,至关重要。
