  2. Breast Cancer: “Tómatelo a pecho”A cross-cutting strategy of ICS • Information • Investigation and research • Innovation • Institutional strengthening

  3. 1. Information • Systematic review and prospective analysis • Literature review: promotion, prevention, detection, epidemiology, treatment, evaluation, trends, and cost-effectiveness of interventions. • Prospective analysis: cost of the disease, social and economic. Projection of needs under different scenarios. • Mapping of key actors: civil society organizations, service providers, and researchers. • Identification and analysis of public policy options and strategic projects. Carriedoutby Observatorio de la Salud a regional, jointinitiativebetween: and

  4. Stylized facts • Mexico • As of 2006, second cause of death among women aged 30-54 • 2000: 3,726 reportes cases; 2006: 6,043 • Breast cancer mortality is increasing while mortality from cervical cancer has been on the decline since 1990. • The average age at death among women with breast cancer is 2 years younger than that of women with cervical cancer. • As of 2006, women under 65 presented a greater risk of dying from breast cancer than from cervical cancer, while 27 years ago the risk of dying from cervical cancer at any age was twice as great as the risk of dying from breast cancer.

  5. Mortality from malignant tumors of the breast and cervix in Mexico 1955-2006 Age-adjusted rate x 100,000 women 18.0 16.0 14.0 12.0 10.0 8.0 6.0 Breast Cervix 4.0 2.0 0.0 1955 1960 1965 1970 1975 1980 1985 1990 1995 2000 2005 Breast cancer motality has been steadily increasing since at least the 1950´s. By contrast, and likely due to public health interventions, cervical cancer mortality has been declining since about 1990. As of 2006, breast cancer mortality rates exceed C-U cancer.

  7. 1. Information • Education and communication: materials and campaign • Aimed at health professionals, patients and families. • Focus: early detection, improved treatment practices, non-discrimination, partner/companion support. • Wide range of products aimed at different audiences: book for patients and their families; manuals for health professionals and patients; web page at the ICS site; multimedia messages through television and cellular phones; video.

  8. 2. Investigation and research A) Qualitative study, perceptions: knowledge of breast cancer among the Mexican population and barriers to early detection and treatment • With the National Institute of Public Health and EngenderHealth. B) Breast cancer genomics in the Latin American population • With the National Institute for Genomic Medicine.

  9. 3. Innovation Solutions for barriers to early detection A) Develop and finance connectivity for regional, digital-imaging centres B) Installation of digital mammography C) Innovate on the existing models of early detection at the clinic-level

  10. 4. Institutional strengthening Human resource development • Endowed chair B) Short courses to train radiologists C) Scholarships for fellows, including international exchanges • Within Mexico as program participants. • International exchanges with leading institutions.
