title: [Preliminary evaluation of the effectiveness of the screening examinations for breast cancer. Results of the examinations of women working at industrial plants in the Ochota district].
abstract: Organization and results of breast cancer screening, of working women from 5 institutions are presented. 1144 women out of 1821 invited, entered the examination. In 958 in addition to clinical examination of the breast, xeromammography has been performed. In the group of women less than 40 years of age no suspicions of cancer changes have been detected and in the group of age 40-60 years in 4 cases suggestive of cancer changes have been present. In two the presence of malignancy have been confirmed. The total detectability of cancer in the examined group (0.18% in total and 0.32% in the over 40 years group) has been compared with detectability presented in the literature. The organizational feasibility and effectiveness of the breast cancer screening of women employed in some institutions suggest the possibility of further expansion of this activity.
