内容説明

At the beginning of the European year of information on Cancer, the international symposium organized by the Association Against Cancer (Belgium) made it possible to gather essential information about conditions for an efficient application of breast cancer screening in Europe. In preparation for this conference, the Association Against Cancer invited specialists from all Belgian universities and scientific societies in order to discuss the application of breast cancer screening in Belgium. A postal inquiry was undertaken to study the availability of mammographic equipment and accessory techniques in Belgium. These data focus the discussion on the concrete situation in the field.
