Uncovering Inequalities: Breast Cancer Screening in Europe
→ Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths among women in Europe
→ Population-based breast cancer screening programmes are essential to improve health outcomes
→ 24 EU countries have organised national breast cancer screening programmes
→ Implementation year, screening coverage and participation rates differ among countries and population groups
→ In most countries women with the lowest education and income level, and living in rural areas participate less in breast cancer screening programmes
→ The European Commission Initiative on Breast Cancer (ECIBC) helps to ensure equal and safe access to high-quality cancer screening and care services across Europe
