676. Quality assessment of population-based mammographic screening program

Abstract

Background: Mammographic screening is believed to reduce breast cancer mortality. Because it takes too long to become evident some operational objectives were identified to monitor the management of the program and to measure its effectiveness. When these early indicators are accomplished then the program will be on target to replicate the mortality reduction achieved in randomised trials. The aim of this study was to assess the quality of program in the 3-million region of Lower Silesia (Poland) in the year 2015 using early performance indicators recommended by the European Commission (EC).
