NEW MEXICO MAMMOGRAPHY PROJECT

新墨西哥州乳房X光摄影项目是一项长期的数据收集和 旨在衡量筛查准确性和结果的联动工作 对新墨西哥州患者进行乳房X光检查，并测量 乳房X光摄影的使用模式。测量的结果包括癌症。 诊断时的大小、分期、敏感性、特异性和阳性预测性 乳房X光检查的价值。该项目与新墨西哥州肿瘤组织合作 登记处、放射科小组和其他乳房成像设施 新墨西哥州。全国乳腺癌监测中心是乳腺癌监测组织的成员之一。 美国国家癌症研究所联盟(BCSC)资助了这项研究工作。 该数据库是有关乳房X光检查的其他分析研究的资源 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房X光检查的有效性和利用率 或者是农村地区。研究还将包括对分子标记的研究 细胞增殖及其与假阴性乳房X光检查的关系。这个 该项目还为研究失去的乳房X光检查机会提供了数据 在卫生保健组织的环境中进行筛查。该项目还将试点收集 乳房X光机的暴露因素。这将允许准确地 测量乳房X光摄影对人群的辐射剂量，以及 检查这些技术因素是否会影响患者的预后。美国国家科学与技术研究所 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.
