Survivors of breast cancer are at high risk for development of a second breast cancer and are thus a group for whom annual mammography screening is recommended. However, survivors' use of mammography rarely has been examined.
We surveyed a representative population sample of survivors who lived in rural communities about their mammography use after cancer.
Of these women, 30% had not received a mammogram in the preceding year. Predictors of mammography use included physician recommendation and whether the original cancer had been detected by mammography.
Physicians should recommend mammography to survivors of breast cancer to ensure regular use.
乳腺癌幸存者发生第二原发性乳腺癌的风险很高,因此是建议进行年度乳房X线筛查的人群。然而,很少有人研究过幸存者对乳房X线检查的使用情况。
我们对居住在农村社区的有代表性的幸存者人群样本进行了调查,了解她们癌症后乳房X线检查的使用情况。
在这些女性中,30%在前一年未接受乳房X线检查。乳房X线检查使用情况的预测因素包括医生的建议以及最初的癌症是否通过乳房X线检查发现。
医生应向乳腺癌幸存者推荐乳房X线检查,以确保其定期使用。
