Screening Mammograms

Background While prior studies have shown the apparent health disparities in breast cancer diagnosis and treatment, there is a gap in knowledge with respect to access to breast cancer care among minority women. Methods We performed a retrospective analysis of patients with newly diagnosed breast cancer from 2014 to 2016 to evaluate how patients presented and accessed cancer care services in our urban safety net hospital. Patient demographics, cancer stage, history of breast cancer screening, and process of referral to cancer care were collected and analyzed. Results Of the 202 patients identified, 61 (30%) patients were younger than the age of 50 and 75 (63%) were of racial minority background. Only 39% of patients with a new breast cancer were diagnosed on screening mammogram. Women younger than the age of 50 ( P < .001) and minority women ( P < .001) were significantly less likely to have had any prior screening mammograms. Furthermore, in patients who met the screening guideline age, more than half did not have prior screening mammograms. Discussion Future research should explore how to improve breast cancer screening rates within our county patient population and the potential need for revision of screening guidelines for minority patients.

Background Breast cancer is a significant cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide, although death rates in the United States and some other countries are beginning to fall. Methods Several sources of information in 1998, including publications and presentations at the 1998 meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology, are pertinent to contemporary breast cancer care. Results It is now possible to prescribe hormonal therapy that will reduce the incidence of breast cancer. Methods are available to reduce the morbidity from axillary node dissection, and improvements in adjuvant therapy and management of metastatic breast cancer are now at hand. Conclusions The information presented provides a broad-based platform for new standards of care for breast cancer that will serve as a sound base for further progress in this important disease.
