In Japan, the breast cancer screening for women aged 30 and older was started in 1987. However, in spite of an introduction of mammography in 2000, the participants have been still a few. The screening system for workers has not been established, that is, the subject and the modality have been variable yet.
In our institute, there were also same problems. Therefore, in order to provide better screening for many more women, we started up the project for promoting breast cancer screening, Happy Mamma, in April 2008. Then, we found out the problems of breast cancer screening, and we discussed for improving them. In a charity event, which was a part of the promotion activity, we got a lot of opinions from the participants, and we obtained new problems. We must do more efforts to solve the problems.
