SURVIVAL The 5-year relative survival rate for breast cancer accounts for 75%, with 36.2% of the cases diagnosed at the localized stage.
NATIONAL SCREENING PROGRAM “MAMMA” STARTED: October 2006 • INTRODUCED BY THE GOVERNMENT • IT IS CONSISTENT WITH THE EU COUNCIL RECOMMENDATIONS (OJ L 327/34-38) TARGET POPULATION:women aged 50-69, which is about 560,000 women GOALS: • to reduce breast cancer mortality by25% within 5 years of the beginning of the programme • to increase the proportion of breast cancers detected in EARLY stage and to increase successful treatment and survival • to improve the patients quality of life • to reduce high costs for advanced stages SCREENING TEST: mammography (double-reading) SCREENING INTERVAL:2 years, and minimum 70% coverage
MAMMOGRAPHY SCREENING PROGRAMME “MAMMA” • 21 county institutes of public health are in charge of collaboration with mammographic units, distributing invitations and coordination at the county level • Programme is centrally coordinated by the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare and Croatian National Institute of Public Health, where the National Cancer Registry is located • For the purpose of implementation and monitoring, a separate database has been formed for each county The central unit can access each of these databases through a common server located at the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare • There are 101 mammographyunits participating in the programme
In 2002 we realized the pilot-project Mobile Diagnostic Mammographic Unite- mobile Mammography - the first one in Croatia, together with Europa Donna, Croatian Medical Association-Croatian Senologic Society and purchased 2 mobile mammography units. • Good collaboration with: the Croatian Medical Association, the Croatian Senologic Society, the Croatian Oncologic Society, the Croatian League against Cancer, the Croatian Psychosocial Oncology Association, the Croatian Association for Hospice / Palliative Care, and the University Hospital for Tumors.
