“…Breast cancer screening in populations was introduced in certain developed countries after randomized clinical trials had shown that it was responsible for diminishing the number of deaths from this neoplasia in 20% to 30%. The mammography was considered a potential exam, a golden standard for the control of the disease, since it enables the early detection of cases in which the lesion is restricted to the breast parenchyma, allowing for the use of less invasive therapeutic resources and increasing the chance of a cure (3) Brazilian public policies have been gradually incorporating actions to control breast cancer. The Ministry of Health recommends women from 50 to 69 years of age to undergo a mammography every two years.…”

“…Those under greater risk (high-risk) for breast cancer (women with first-degree relatives who had the disease) are recommended to receive individual clinical attention and monitoring. For that to happen, health care must be organized as to guarantee that it is continuously accessible to this population (2)(3)(4) .…”

Resumo OBJETIVO Avaliar a correlação entre a cobertura do exame mamografia em mulheres de 50 a 69 anos e os indicadores socioeconômicos Índice de Desenvolvimento Humano (IDH) e Índice de Gini. MÉTODOS Estudo epidemiológico, retrospectivo e ecológico realizado no Brasil com dados secundários. A amostra é composta por 5565 municípios do Brasil. Como variável dependente: a Razão de exames de mamografia de rastreamento realizados em mulheres de 50 a 69 anos, de 2008 a 2015, e como variáveis independentes: o Índice de desenvolvimento humano (IDH) e Índice de Gini. Foi realizada a análise descritiva, análise espacial univariada e bivariada. RESULTADOS Norte, Nordeste e Centro-Oeste são regiões que se mostram mais propícias para o câncer de mama, devido ao baixo acesso para mamografias. CONCLUSÃO O IDH e o índice de Gini, determinantes de desigualdades, influenciam diretamente na cobertura de exames de mamografia no Brasil, destacando a importância de avaliação das políticas públicas.

“…Breast ultrasound is not an instrument for breast cancer screening. It is of great value for clinical situations such as breast tenderness according to the consensus report from a meeting on this subject matter 3 . Mammography is the only breast cancer screening test that can reduce mortality from this disease, according to Tabar 7 , although the study ACRIN 6666 has shown that breast ultrasound as complement to mammography increases the rate of detection of compared to mammography only 8 .…”

O exame de ultrassom de mama é imprescindível em mastologia. Essa tecnologia pode ajudar no diagnóstico de lesões que acometem a glândula mamária, identificando tumores tanto benignos como, possivelmente, malignos. Entretanto, o uso desse exame tem indicações precisas na prática médica. Ele deve ser pedido com critério e não se deve acreditar que solucionará todos os diagnósticos das lesões mamárias. Neste trabalho, o autor analisa 197 pedidos de exame de ultrassom de mama, realizados na cidade de Chapecó (SC). O autor atribui a falta de critério clínico em muitas indicações para o exame de ultrassom pelos profissionais de saúde que atendem nas Unidades Básicas de Saúde da cidade.

Breast cancer (BC) is the most prevalent malignancy worldwide, and a continued upward trend has been predicted in the coming decades. Screening in selected targeted populations, which is effective in reducing cancer‐related mortality, has been widely implemented in many countries. This review summarizes the advances in BC screening techniques, organized or opportunistic BC screening programs across different countries, and screening modalities recommended by different academic authorities. Mammography is the most widely used and effective technique for BC screening. Other complementary techniques include ultrasound, clinical breast examination, and magnetic resonance imaging. Novel screening tests, including digital breast tomosynthesis and liquid biopsies, are still under development. Globally, the implementation status of BC screening programs is uneven, which is reflected by differences in screening modes, techniques, and population coverage. The recommended optimal screening strategies varied according to the authoritative guidelines. The effectiveness of current screening programs is influenced by several factors, including low detection rate, high false‐positive rate, and unsatisfactory coverage and uptake rates. Exploration of accurate BC risk prediction models and the development of risk‐stratified screening strategies are highly warranted in future research.
