However, during the COVID-19 pandemic, regular screening was postponed or interrupted. This study investigated the effect of the pandemic on breast cancer screening and diagnosis rates.MethodsThis single-center, retrospective cohort study enrolled women aged 40-69 years. Mammography was performed at our hospital or in outreach screening vehicles. Follow-up rate, time to follow-up, time to diagnosis, cancer detection rate (CDR), positive predictive value (PPV), and cancer staging were compared between pre-pandemic (2017-2019) and pandemic (2020-2022) periods.ResultsA similar number of participants were screened during the pandemic (N = 77,901) and pre-pandemic periods (N = 75,403). However, mobile screening significantly increased from 89.4% to 94.9% during the pandemic. Education level, rate of self-examination of breasts, and the proportion of participants with a family history of breast cancer were higher during the pandemic than in the pre-pandemic period. Time to follow-up and time to diagnosis were significantly shorter during the pandemic than in the pre-pandemic period. No significant differences were observed in PPV, CDR, cancer staging, and rate of invasive carcinoma between the two periods.ConclusionDuring the pandemic, participants were more likely to promptly return for follow-up. The use of outreach screening vehicles and increased awareness for individuals with low education levels are crucial for maintaining screening volumes in the pandemic recovery period. Outreach screening strategies may serve as an alternative in a future pandemic crisis.</p>","PeriodicalId":51089,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Medical Screening","volume":" ","pages":"9691413251338456"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144057207","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, the success of ChatGPT in detecting breast cancer on mammography (MMG) was evaluated. The pre-treatment mammographic images of patients with a histopathological diagnosis of invasive breast carcinoma and prominent mass formation on MMG were read separately into two ChatGPT subprograms: Radiologist Report Writer (P1) and XrayGPT (P2). The programs were asked to determine mammographic breast density, tumor size, side, and quadrant, the presence of microcalcification, distortion, skin or nipple changes, and axillary lymphadenopathy (LAP), and BI-RADS score. The responses were evaluated in consensus by two experienced radiologists. Although the mass detection rate of both programs was over 60%, the success in determining breast density, tumor size and localization, microcalcification, distortion, skin or nipple changes, and axillary LAP was low. BI-RADS category agreement with readers was fair for P1 (κ:28%, 0.20< κ ≤ 0.40) and moderate for P2 (κ:58%, 0.40< κ ≤ 0.60). In conclusion, while the XrayGPT application can detect breast cancer with a mass appearance on MMG images better than the Radiologist Report Writer application, the success of both is low in detecting all other related features.

While organized screening programs aim to reduce this burden, participation rates remain suboptimal, particularly for colorectal cancer screening. This study examined factors associated with colorectal cancer screening uptake among women participating in breast and cervical cancer screening ('screen-aware\" women), investigated patterns of concurrent participation across all three programs, and identified associated factors.MethodsCross-sectional data from the 2017 Canadian Community Health Survey were analyzed for women aged 50-69 eligible for breast cancer (mammography), cervical cancer (Pap smear), and colorectal cancer (fecal and/or endoscopy tests) screening (<i>n</i> = 10,426). Multivariable logistic regression evaluated factors associated with colorectal cancer screening among \"screen-aware\" women. Multinomial logistic regression assessed factors related to full (all three), partial (any two), single, or non-participation across screening programs, using \"no screening\" as the reference.ResultsAlthough the majority of women (87%) participated in at least one screening program, only 27% reported full participation. Colorectal cancer screening (53.7%) lagged behind breast and cervical cancer screening (∼64%). Among \"screen-aware\" women, older age (adjusted odds ratio 1.50, 95% confidence interval 1.31-1.71), higher income, self-rated health as \"great\" (adjusted odds ratio 1.31, 95% confidence interval 1.05-1.63), and having a regular healthcare provider (adjusted odds ratio 3.29, 95% confidence interval 2.45-4.40) were associated with higher colorectal cancer screening participation. Having multiple chronic conditions reduced colorectal cancer screening likelihood (adjusted odds ratio 0.72, 95% confidence interval 0.55-0.94). Higher income, self-rated health, having a regular healthcare provider, and physical activity increased the odds of full screening participation, while smoking and Asian identity reduced the odds.ConclusionsColorectal cancer screening uptake remains low among Canadian women, even those participating in other cancer screenings. Socioeconomic, health-related, and systemic factors influence concurrent screening participation. Tailored interventions addressing identified barriers and promoting equitable access to screening are crucial for improving cancer prevention efforts.</p>","PeriodicalId":51089,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Medical Screening","volume":" ","pages":"9691413251333223"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144031142","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We aimed to use an AAA-specific measure of quality of life to identify the characteristics of people in surveillance with AAA-related psychosocial problems.SettingIn the National Health Service (NHS) in England, all men are screened for AAA aged 65. They undergo annual surveillance if a small AAA is detected (3-4.4 cm) and three-monthly surveillance if a medium AAA is detected (4.5-5.4 cm).
