The American Cancer Society--Duval Unit, in June, 1987, helped organize a community demonstration screening project involving all hospitals and institutions with mammography units in the area. A Northeast Florida Cooperative Breast Cancer Screening Group was formed comprised of physicians and administrators from each institution. A total of 1,200 women agreed to participate in the project and each underwent complete screening including education, instruction in self-examination, physical examination by a physician and mammography as indicated according to ACS guidelines. Of the study group, 1,032 women were eligible for mammography at a participating center, and 628 (61%) underwent a mammogram at no cost to them as instructed. Twenty four (4%) had definite abnormalities which led to biopsy and seven (1%) of them had malignant lesions. The medical community organized to provide breast cancer screening and follow-up with low-cost mammography. |
