Article Synopsis
- - Breast cancer is the leading cancer among women in Kuwait, with the Kuwait National Mammography Screening Program (KNMSP) providing data from 2014 to 2019 that included 14,773 women aged 40 and older to help with early detection.
- - Out of the women screened, 551 had lesions identified, with 233 being malignant, demonstrating a detection rate of invasive breast cancer at 13.6 per 1000 women screened.
- - Despite the program's effectiveness in improving early detection, the participation rate was only 7.8%, indicating a need for better outreach to achieve the goal of a 70% participation rate among the target population.
