The Japanese College of Radiology sent me to Turku in Finland to attend and learn about a breast mass screening system by mammography in February and March 1994. Mass screening of breast cancer is performed by the Southwestern Finnish Cancer Society in Turku. The Finnish situation, the results of the screening, and my opinions regarding the mass screening of breast cancer are presented in this report. Breast cancer is the most important type of cancer in Finnish women, as with other European women. Finnish women are able to attend the first screening and also additional examinations, including cytology, free of charge if they are necessary. Since mass screening began in 1987, the attendance rate has remained at a high level, about 89% each year. The detection rate was 0.33% in 1992, and early cancer (Stage I) accounted for 78% of all breast cancers detected by the screening. The incidence of breast cancer in Finland is about twice that in Japan. There is a difference in the situation of breast cancer between Finland and Japan. However, Japan may eventually follow the Finnish example. That is, how to spread knowledge about breast cancer and screening, and to make a flexible schedule and comfortable situation for women who attend the screening. It is still very important but difficult to maintain a high level of quality and quantity for screening systems. In Finland, doctors and technologists are being trained every year, and the nation has a commitment to continue to use high-quality mammographic apparatus. If mass screening by any diagnostic imaging method is started in Japan, we should obtain advanced guidance from other countries and establish a suitable Japanese system.
