Breast Cancer screening initiative with 70% adherence in the municipalities of Nordeste and Povoação

A total of 1341 women undertook screenings for the detection of breast-cancer. These screenings were offered by the Regional Government of the Azores in the municipalities of Nordeste and Povoação, in the island of São Miguel. 
According to the Azores Oncology Centre, the institution that oversees the implementation of the project, 70% of women residing in the municipalities undertook were screened.  

The final results indicate that further clinical investigation was required in 111 cases, around 9% of the population of women, with three positive diagnoses or 0.03% of all screenings. 

The Azores Oncology Centre said  that these screenings demonstrated that early identification of this disease is fundamental to its treatment and added that it will continue to implement such measures, now in the municipalities of Lagoa and Angra do Heroísmo.
