The 1987 Texas Breast Screening Project was designed to educate women about the benefits and safety of mammographic screening. During the 2-week promotion, 109,339 women called toll-free telephone numbers to inquire about the program, and 64,459 (65%) of 99,650 eligible callers had $50 mammograms at 306 participating community radiology centers. Biopsies were obtained for 1,122 women (1.7% of those screened), and the ratio of benign to malignant biopsy results was 4.2:1. Among the women having biopsies, 214 cancers were found (3.3 cancers per 1,000 women screened). Forty-seven percent of the tumors were not palpable, 80% were smaller than 2 cm, and 72% were clinicopathologic stage 0 or I. These results show that women will respond to an invitation to attend mammographic screening, and that community radiology centers can detect large numbers of early, curable breast cancers.
1987年德克萨斯州乳腺筛查项目旨在让女性了解乳腺钼靶筛查的益处和安全性。在为期两周的推广期间，109,339名女性拨打免费电话号码咨询该项目，99,650名符合条件的来电者中有64,459名（65%）在306家参与项目的社区放射中心接受了50美元的钼靶检查。1,122名女性（占筛查人数的1.7%）接受了活检，活检结果良性与恶性的比例为4.2:1。在接受活检的女性中，发现了214例癌症（每1,000名接受筛查的女性中有3.3例癌症）。47%的肿瘤触诊不到，80%的肿瘤小于2厘米，72%为临床病理分期0期或I期。这些结果表明，女性会响应参加乳腺钼靶筛查的邀请，并且社区放射中心能够检测出大量早期可治愈的乳腺癌。
