[A place of outpatient screening in the formation of a current organizational scheme for better radical detection of breast cancer].
The authors consider it necessary to revise the current views of breast cancer in women. In their opinion, excessive consideration of mammography as an independent section of radiation diagnosis does not contribute to better detection of breast cancer. The principle of including mammography into the general traditional section of current radiation diagnosis should be regarded as of paramount importance. Mammography should be widely introduced into the general polyclinic network of the practical health care system of the Russian Federation. The so-called mammological dispensaries (centers) that have been or being set up should more clearly define their functions mainly to rendering an organizational and methodological assistance in the diagnosis of breast cancer at a routine outpatient level, to make its specified diagnosis, and to define the tactics of rendering a medical care of detected breast pathology in the polyclinic. The authors consider that the wide introduction of screening for breast cancer into the practice of polyclincs is one of the basic ways of improving of its detection.
