- W1560255280 abstract "Breast cancer in Uganda is the third commonest cancer in women coming only next to cancer of the cervix and Kaposi's sarcoma. The incidence of breast cancer in Uganda has doubled from 11: 100,000 in 1961 to 22:100,000 in 19951,2,. Many patients are often seen in late stages thus the outcome of treatment is mostly unsatisfactory. The present day knowledge of this disease does not have any effective primary prevention. It is thus imperative that efforts should be made to detect the disease in its early stages. Mammography has been found to be useful but it is not feasible for mass screening in Uganda, as there is a limited number of units accessible to the general public.Public education towards Breast Self Examination (BSE) should be propagated because it is practical and affordable 3.These guidelines were compiled by the Uganda Breast Cancer working group whose objectives are to improve the quality of life of the breast cancer patients and their families by working towards encouraging early detection; harmonize treatment, referral of patients and to create a reference document for health workers dealing with breast cancer. In addition it aims at creating awareness about breast cancer to health workers and the community and to be part of the National Cancer Society creating a breast cancer registry and cancer control program.This edition is an updated version of the one published in 20034. This version highlights the importance of Breast Self Examination (BSE), which is still practical and affordable though it is discouraged in other resource rich settings. It includes a section on pathological specimen reporting in an effort to information sharing and therefore decision making. It includes a section on prognostication. It presents a relaxed view on and recommends Breast conserving surgery a different stand from the previous edition and lastly it presents a one-page reader friendly, at a glance overview of Breast cancer treatment for easy reference by the user." @default.
