Abstract

According to epidemiology data breast cancer (BC) takes the first place in the structure of incidence rate and mortality of malignant neoplasms in female population in Ukraine. There are some differences in the incidence of BC in separate administrative- territorial units (regions), one of which is difference in incidence rates among urban and rural population. On the other hand, unidirectional trends in the incidence of BC among urban regional centers in the geographically distant regions of Ukraine can be traced. Worldwide experience proved the necessity to implement the screening program for detection of BC among high-risk group. The leading diagnostic method in these programs is X-ray mammography.
