Abstract
Breast cancer incidence and mortality continue to increase in Africa. In Tanzania, breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death for women, and breast cancer incidence and mortality are projected to increase by 80% by 2030. Education gaps among health care workers, delayed presentation, limited screening, and low health literacy all pose significant challenges to providing optimal breast cancer care. Considering these factors, it is imperative to train expert breast radiologists. We present a collaborative breast radiology training program in Tanzania aimed at building local capacity to address national breast cancer challenges. Although cancer control in Africa faces many challenges, developing customized training programs for breast radiology, in conjunction with national cancer programs, may represent a key strategy for addressing breast cancer.
