THE IMPACT OF BREAST CANCER SCREENING ON SURVIVAL RATES: A LITERATURE REVIEW

Breast cancer is one of the most prevalent neoplasms in the world. In Brazil, the disease is the second most common in women, second only to non-melanoma skin cancer. Mortality associated with the disease is on a rising pattern in total deaths from breast cancer, so it is imperative to review strategies for early screening for the disease. Mammography is the test indicated to monitor risk groups, and is recognized by world health bodies as a test capable of screening the disease in its early stages. In the early stages of the disease, with rapid diagnosis, studies show that survival rates increase significantly. With this in mind, this article seeks to review the available literature on the impact of breast cancer screening on survival rates, as well as understanding the challenges and prospects for implementing this strategy in Brazil.

  • Abstract:

    Breast cancer is one of the most prevalent neoplasms in the world. In Brazil, the disease is the second most common in women, second only to non-melanoma skin cancer. Mortality associated with the disease is on a rising pattern in total deaths from breast cancer, so it is imperative to review strategies for early screening for the disease. Mammography is the test indicated to monitor risk groups, and is recognized by world health bodies as a test capable of screening the disease in its early stages. In the early stages of the disease, with rapid diagnosis, studies show that survival rates increase significantly. With this in mind, this article seeks to review the available literature on the impact of breast cancer screening on survival rates, as well as understanding the challenges and prospects for implementing this strategy in Brazil.
