Özet:

 

Background: The study aimed to evaluate the epidemiologic data of our patients with mammography examinations, pre-examinations, and evaluation of them.  Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted by asking specific questions by face-to-face interviewing 500 female patients who lived in the suburban areas of Mersin between April 2011 and November 2011 and who applied to the maternity branch hospital for mammography surveys. The data are evaluated proportionally; numerical values are given in percent and n=n1/total number.  Results: The majority of the cases  87%, n=435/500  consisted of women aged 40-60 years. The majority of cases  80%, n=400/500  reported that the education level was primary school graduate or lower. In our patients, 54%  n=270/500  had no previous mammography screening, 43%  n=215/500  had irregular mammography screening, 3%  n=15/500  had a regular mammography scan. 55%  n=275/500  did not know what the mammography was and why it was withdrawn; 45%  n=225/500  did not know enough. Our cases of 12%  n=60/500  had a history of breast cancer in the family.  Conclusion: Collection of epidemiologic data belonging to the patient before the mammography screening will benefit the planning of future surveys, and it is seen that they are also contributing to the reporting of mammography.
