NEW MEXICO MAMMOGRAPHY PROJECT

新墨西哥州乳腺X线摄影项目（NMMP）是一项长期数据收集， 旨在衡量筛查准确性和结果的联系工作 在新墨西哥州的患者进行乳房X光检查， 乳房X线摄影的使用模式。 测量的结果包括癌症 大小、诊断时的分期、敏感性、特异性和阳性预测值 乳房X光检查的价值 该项目与新墨西哥州肿瘤 登记处、放射学小组和其他乳腺成像设施 位于新墨西哥州。NMMP是乳腺癌监测的成员之一 BCSC是一个由国家癌症研究所资助的研究项目。 该数据库是一个资源，用于对乳腺X射线摄影进行额外的分析研究 和乳腺癌。 其他项目包括研究 按患者年龄、种族和城市划分的乳腺X射线摄影的有效性和利用率 或农村地区。 研究还将包括对以下疾病的分子标记的研究： 细胞增殖及其与假阴性乳房X线照片的关联。 的 该项目还为一项关于乳腺X线摄影机会丧失的研究提供了数据 健康维护组织的筛查 该项目还将试点收集 乳腺X射线摄影机的曝光系数。 这将使准确的 测量乳房X线摄影对人群的辐射剂量，以及 检查这些技术因素是否影响患者的结果。 NMMP 将与其他BCSC项目和SCC合作。

The New Mexico Mammography Project (NMMP) is a long term data collection and linkage effort designed to measure the accuracy and outcomes of screening mammography for patients in the state of New Mexico and to measure the patterns of utilization of mammography. The outcomes measured include cancer size, stage at diagnosis, sensitivity, specificity, and positive predictive value of mammography. The project collaborates with the New Mexico Tumor Registry, radiology groups, and other breast imaging facilities within the state of New Mexico. The NMMP is one member of the Breast Cancer Surveillance Consortium (BCSC) a National Cancer Institutes funded research effort. This database is a resource for additional analytic research on mammography and breast cancer. Additional projects include research of differences in mammography effectiveness and utilization by patient age, ethnicity, and urban or rural location. Research will also include studies of molecular markers of cell proliferation and their association with false negative mammograms. The project also provides data for a study of lost opportunities for mammography screening in an HMO setting. The project will also pilot the collection of exposure factors from mammography machines. This will allow accurate measurement of the radiation dose to the population from mammography, and examine whether these technical factors influence patient outcomes. The NMMP will collaborate with other BCSC projects and with the SCC.
