Abstract

Screening female population for breast cancer has a significant impact on survival rate. The quality of this screening service provided by the UK and other developed countries are improving continually, with increased sensitivity reducing rates of non-surgical diagnoses. The results of screening have exceeded the initial expectations of the service, where an improvement in disease-specific survival of 25% was anticipated. Virtually, to reduce the mortality of breast cancer up to 30-40%. We recommend that National Breast Cancer Screening Program should be launched in the developing nations also to rip benefits of screening.
