Title

Screening for breast cancer in the Eastern Mediterranean Region.

Authors

Miller, A. B.

Abstract

The author discusses a program recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) for screening women for breast cancer in the Eastern Mediterranean Region. Details are given on a study by Akhtar et al in the journal which deals with a mammography screening programme in Saudi Arabia. The author considers the difficulty of recruiting women for screening and suggests that the priority should be on early diagnosis through health education and treatment of cases that have been detected.
