Abstract

The objective of the investigation was to study the results of the organizational structure of screening measures to improve the early diagnosis of breast cancer, which was commissioned in the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous District in 2007. A total of 117,465 women were examined using mammography and ultrasonography over 1.5 years; 63,924 (20.4% of the women in the age group of over 20 years) subjects were studied within the screening program. During screenings, the incidence of breast cancer increased from 28.7 to 35.5% in the district in 2007 (versus 2006). In the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous and Surgut District, the breast cancer detection rate was generally 0.45% of the total number of screenings amongst women over 40 years of age.
