Abstract

The currently available scientific evidence attests that mammographic screening and quality treatment have been able to reduce mortality attributable to breast cancer. Although screening is not without risks, population-based screening has clear advantages over opportunistic detection. Following the Council of the European Union's “Recommendations on cancer screening”, all the regional Autonomous Communities in Spain have screening programs that, in general, follow the same guidelines. The “European guidelines for quality assurance in breast cancer screening and diagnosis” serve as a reference that provides an overview of all aspects of screening. To achieve the foreseen objectives for the reduction of the morbidity and mortality attributable to breast cancer, screening programs must fulfill the established quality criteria and guarantee that patients have access to the best treatment options.

Resumen

De acuerdo con el conocimiento científico actual, los programas de diagnóstico precoz mediante mamografía y la calidad de los tratamientos han logrado disminuir la mortalidad por cáncer de mama. Aunque no está exento de riesgos, el cribado poblacional tiene claras ventajas sobre la detección oportunista. Siguiendo las «Recomendaciones del Consejo Europeo sobre el cribado del cáncer», en España existen programas de detección precoz en todas las Comunidades Autónomas que, en líneas generales, siguen unas directrices comunes. «La Guía Europea para la Garantía de Calidad en el cribado y diagnóstico de cáncer de mama» es un documento de referencia y proporciona una visión general de todos los aspectos del cribado. Para conseguir los objetivos previstos de reducción de morbilidad y mortalidad por cáncer de mama es necesario que los programas de cribado cumplan con unos criterios de calidad establecidos y que se garanticen a las pacientes las mejores opciones terapéuticas.
