我们的目的是评估2007年10月至2008年10月在阿尔巴尼亚首都地拉那参加乳腺癌筛查项目的妇女中乳腺癌的患病率。2007年在阿尔巴尼亚地拉那开展了一项乳腺癌预防和治疗运动，其中还包括早期发现乳腺癌的乳房x光检查。所有居住在地拉那市的妇女都被邀请免费接受乳房x光检查。2007年10月至2008年10月期间，共有5224名妇女在地拉那接受了乳房x光检查。2008年10月进行的乳房x光检查次数最多（1284次），其次是2008年6月，进行了746次乳房x光检查。总的来说，60岁以上的女性乳房x光检查呈阳性的比例最高，其次是51-60岁和41-50岁年龄组。我们的研究结果表明，在一年中接受检查的5224名妇女中，1.9%的人在乳房x光检查中呈阳性。这是阿尔巴尼亚为数不多的大规模乳腺癌筛查报告之一。乳腺癌发病率的上升要求在阿尔巴尼亚妇女中实施多方向方案，以预防、早期诊断和控制这种疾病。
Our aim was to assess the prevalence of breast cancer among women who showed up and participated in the breast cancer screening program during October 2007-October 2008 in Tirana, the Albanian capital city. A breast cancer prevention and treatment campaign was undertaken in Tirana, Albania, in 2007 which included also mammography examination for the early detection of breast cancer. All women residing in Tirana municipality were invited to undergo a mammography examination free of charge. A total number of 5224 women underwent mammography examination during October 2007 – October 2008 time period in Tirana. The highest number of mammography tests were performed in October 2008 (1284 tests), followed by June 2008 with 746 mammography examinations realized. In general, the prevalence of breast cancer positive mammography readings where higher among women older than 60 years, followed by the 51-60 and 41-50 years age-groups. Our findings indicate that, among 5224 examined women during a one-year period, 1.9% had a positive reading in mammography. This is one of the few reports large-scale breast cancer screening in Albania. The increasing of breast cancer rates necessitates implementation of multi-directional programs to prevent, early diagnose and control this condition in Albanian women.
