How prevalent are breast cancer screening programs in Mexico??
I found a good article on Mexico’s first breast cancer screening program:
Screening in Mexico finds most breast cancer in women 60 and younger
By Rebekah Moan | September 22, 2009
Nearly 70% of cancers found in Mexico’s first breast cancer screening program were in women younger than 60 years old, the reverse of the pattern seen in the U.S. and other developed countries.
Mexico’s first voluntary mammography screening program was organized by the Mexican Foundation for Education in Prevention and Opportune Detection of Breast Cancer (FUCAM) and the Mexico City government. It targeted women over 40.
More than 96,000 mammograms were performed in mobile units for residents in Mexico City’s Federal District over a 22-month period ending in December 2006, according to a new study (Breast J 2009 Aug. 17:epub ahead of print).
