Implementering af det nationale mammografiscreeningsprogram i Danmark 1991-2013 DRS Årsmøde Januar 2014 Ilse Vejborg Klinik- og screeningschef, RH
Mammography Screening in Denmark Denmark - is one of the European countries with high risk of breast cancer - has one of the highest age standardized breast cancer mortality rates in the world - has the highest mortality rate in the Nordic Countries - breast cancer is the most frequent cancer in Denmark - is one of the countries in the world who have had the most heated debate about pros and cons of mammography screening - offers an unique opportunity to do research on impact of mammography screening
Populationbased, organized Mammography Screening Each women is identified by a unique ID in a population register Personal invitations 2 standardised x-ray examinations of each breast every second year Questioner No clinical examination No contact with a physician No ultrasound examination CC MLO A fast (6-10 minutes) and inexpensive examination which can be performed anywhere in the regions independent of the physicians presence. Highly skilled physicians trained in evaluation of screening mammograms and highly skilled radiographers making the mammograms are necessary!
Mammography Screening in Denmark 2001 2001 1993 1991/1994 Organised mammography screening were offered free of charge to women aged 50-69 years every second year in 4 out of 16 regions. The programmes covered around 20 % of the target population Opportunistic screening is very limited. Only 3 % Q aged 50-69 years had a mammogram in non screening areas in 2000

Organisation and Results Reduction in breast cancer mortality is the final criterion of success but you have to wait at least 8 to 10 years before mortality data is available In the mean time detailed recording of data to monitor process and impact is necessary IV

National Mammography Screening A national challenge to ensure that the recommended guidelines are met
DKMS Dansk Kvalitetsdatabase for MammografiScreening (Danish Database for Quality Assurance of Mammography Screening) Initiated by the National Board of Health and Danish Regions Responsibilities of the steering committee: Work out national quality indicators ( done) Work out national clinical guidelines ( done) Generate and manage the database (on going) Surveillance and improvements of quality (on going) All regions are required to send specified data to the database IV 2012
National Clinical Guidelines of Mammography Screening Organizational requirements Personal invitations based on population register Information folder send with the invitation Every women in the target group invited every second year Written answers of the test result send to the women 2 standardized projections of each breast The screening programme has to full fill the organizational recommandations Dobble blind reading by two radiologist of which at least one of them read 5000 screening mammograms a year Steering group with a broad representation Appointed leader of the programme Centalized physical and technical quality assurance according to European Guidelines Data collections and centralized monitoring of the programme Vejborg I et al.

Mammography screening has to have a balance between Benefits: Breast cancer morbidity and mortality and Harms: False positives, overdiagnosis Recently published reports from The UK Independent Panel on Breast Screening (Ref.: The benefits and harms of breast cancer screening: An independent review. Lancet 2012;;380:1778-86)..and from The Euroscreen Working Group (Ref.: Paci E. Summary of the evidence of breast cancer service screening outcomes in Europe and first estimates of the benefit and harm balance sheet. J Med Screen 2012;; 19: 5-13)..concludes that: Mammography screening do reduce breast cancer mortality and that the benefits by far exceedes the harms IV.2014

Personaliseret Mammografiscreening Livstidsrisikoen for brystkræft er over 10 %, men ikke alle kvinder har samme risiko! Hvis vi kan identificere kvinder med hhv. høj og lav risiko for at udvikle brystkræft vil omkostningerne ved fremtidig screening kunne nedbringes uden reduktion i screeningseffekten Både brysttype og en lang række andre karakteristika influerer på risikoen for brystkræft Aktuelt baseres organiseret screening alene på alderskriterier:...

Personaliseret Mammografiscreening Stigende fokus på mammografisk densitet som risikofaktor for udvikling af brystkræft 16-28% af alle brystkræfttilfælde formodes at kunne tilskrives en høj densitet af brystvævet ( Boyd NF.NEJM 2007) Tæt brystvæv øger risikoen for store og lymfeknude positive cancere og må derfor formodes at influere på dødelighed af brystkræft Risikovurdering på store datamaterialer og en objektiv metode til vurdering af densitet efterspørges Densitets type 1 Densitets type 4 IV. 2012
