Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study is to determine the risk factors and the results of the community-based screening program of the women who attended the Cancer Early Diagnosis, Screening, and Education Center between 2005-2011. Methods: This study was planned on a descriptive design. Data of the women who attend to cancer screening center between 2005-2011 years for breast cancer and cervical cancer screening program were collected retrospectively and evaluated. Incomplete forms were excluded. Results: Research has been completed by the records of 3162 women. The age of the study group was between 25-69 years old. The majority of them has been educated for 5 years and/or less, or not educated (89%), more than one-third of patients had more than four birth (38%), the breastfeeding rate was high (93.6%), the oral contraceptive drugs and HRT medication usage ratios were low (7.2%, 7.2%), respectively), the smoking rate was low (14.9%). The number of women who consulted for cervix cancer screening was 215 in 2008 and 142 for breast cancer screening; by the end of June 2011. Those numbers increased to 1271 and 1012, respectively. Conclusion: Community-based cancer screening programs are much more successful to reach the target population although single women, LGBT individuals, “working class” are still the missing parts of the puzzle.

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, 2005-2011 yılları arasında Kanser Erken Teşhis, Tarama ve Eğitim Merkezine toplum tabanlı tarama programı kapsamında başvuran kadınların risk etmenlerii ve sonuçlarını incelemektir. Yöntem: Bu çalışma tanımlayıcı desende planlanmıştır. Kanser tarama merkezine 2005-2011 yılları arasında başvuran kadınların meme kanseri ve serviks kanseri tarama programı verileri geriye dönük olarak toplanıp incelendi. Eksik formlar çalışma dışı bırakıldı. Bulgular: Araştırma 3162 kadının kayıtlarıyla tamamlanmıştır. Çalışma grubunun yaşı, 25-69 yaş arasındaydı. Büyük çoğunluğu 5 yıl ve/ya altında eğitim görmüşler ya da eğitim görmemişlerdi (%89), üçte birinden fazlası dörtten fazla doğum yapmıştı (%38) ve hormon replasman tedavisi (%7,2) ile sigara kullanım oranları (%14,9) düşük bulundu. Serviks kanseri taraması için konsulte edilen kadın sayısı 2008’de 215, meme kanseri taraması için 142 iken; 2011 Haziran sonunda, bu sayılar sırasıyla 1271 ve 1012’ye yükseldi. Sonuç: Toplum tabanlı kanser tarama programları, hedef topluma ulaşabilmek için çok daha başarılı olmasına karşın; bekar kadınlar, LGBT bireyler ve çalışan kadınlar hala bu bulmacanın eksik parçalarıdır.
