Mammography Screening is a human breast imaging process that uses low-dose X-rays for early diagnosis of Cancer. The X-ray detects any lumps, masses, or micro calcifications indicating breast cancer. This specific X-ray examination of breasts is known as a Mammogram. A mammography screening helps in early detection of breast cancer while it is still treatable and much before a woman can herself feel any lumps. As per research 25% of women, from those who regularly screen, have been saved from death due to breast cancer as early detection can increase treatment options.
As per the publication, Breast Cancer Facts & Figures 2019-2020 by American Cancer Society, ‘Approximately 13% of women will be suffering from invasive breast cancer and 3% of them will die from this cancer’. As per U.S. breast Cancer statistics, ‘In America, an estimated 276,480 new cases of invasive breast cancer are expected to be diagnosed in 2020. The main cause of such alarming figures of breast cancer spread and death is very evident from American Cancer Society research which shows that in 2018, only 30% of uninsured women were regular with mammography screening while only 64% of insured women were regularly getting themselves screened for breast cancer. Many studies have been conducted to analyze the barriers faced by women in getting regular mammography screenings done. The issues include time constraints due to working hours or having a child to take care of, traveling and transportation difficulties, and other access barriers.
