Abstract
AbstractBreast cancer mortality has not been reduced in Japan despite more than 20 years of population-based screening mammography. Screening mammography might not be suitable for Japanese women who often have dense breasts, thus decreasing mammography sensitivity because of masking. The J-START study showed that breast ultrasonography increases the sensitivity and the detection rate for early invasive cancers and lowers the rate of interval cancers for Japanese women in their 40 s. Breast awareness and breast cancer survival are directly correlated; however, breast awareness is not widely known in Japan. Next-generation breast cancer screening in Japan should consist of breast awareness campaigns for improving breast cancer literacy and supplemental breast ultrasonography to address the problem of false-negative mammograms attributable to dense breasts.
