Comparing the performance of three modalities of breast cancer screening within a combined programme targeting at-risk women in Indonesia: An implementation study.

Although mammography is the gold standard for breast cancer screening, the World Health Organization recommends clinical breast examination (CBE) as the preferred early detection method in countries with limited resources. However, its effectiveness as a 'stand-alone' screening modality compared with other techniques remains unclear. Therefore, we evaluated a risk-based opportunistic breast cancer screening programme using three modalities.

Early Detection of Breast Cancer in Indonesia: Barriers Identified in a Qualitative Study.

Background: The lack of early detection in breast cancer management has been identified as the primary factor contributing to the high mortality rate. The introduction of BPJS Kesehatan, Indonesia's national health insurance, was intended to ensure the provision of adequate health services for breast cancer patients. This study aimed to investigate the current state of health services in Indonesia concerning the early detection of breast cancer, following the implementation of BPJS Kesehatan introduction.

Sonographic focally thick duct of breast found in screening, why is it concerning? A report of three cases.

We report three cases of focally thickened ductal lesions found on screening ultrasonography with fine needle aspiration (FNA)-proven benign cytology in order to demonstrate the different fates of this radiographic finding. All three patients, aged 74, 69 and 68 years old, had their first time mammography and concurrent ultrasonography. Their mammograms did not show abnormalities except a focal asymmetry in one case.

Knowledge and Acceptance Towards Mammography as Breast Cancer Screening Tool Among Yogyakarta Women and Health Care Providers (Mammography Screening in Indonesia).

However, Indonesia has not designated mammography as its national screening program. To help policymakers decide whether mammography should be introduced into a national program, it is important to comprehensively understand the knowledge and acceptance of both consumers and providers.
