ABSTRACT
In Korea, there are over 13,000 new breast cancer cases diagnosed annually. Early screening is crucial in reducing breast cancer mortality. Mammography is known to be the standard method of early screening for breast cancer. With increased awareness of the signs and symptoms of breast cancer and the use of screening mammograms, breast cancers are increasingly being diagnosed at earlier stages. Korean national health screening program recommends women aged 40 years or older should receive mammography every 1~2 years with breast self examination and clinical breast examination. And breast sonography and MRI have been added in screening. The screening guidelines for the breast cancer are continually changing. These guidelines are modified according to risk factors. Here, we investigated what are current evidence-based screening methods for breast cancer.
