A Comparative Analysis of Mobile versus Stationary Mammography Units: Performance and Outcomes in a Breast Cancer Screening Program
While MMUs improve accessibility to underserved areas, they face challenges such as higher refusal rates for follow-up evaluations. The comparable screen-detected BC rates between MMUs and fixed units underscore the potential of combining both approaches in breast cancer screening programs. These findings highlight the importance of awareness campaigns to improve follow-up adherence and suggest that future research should focus on cost-effectiveness and sociocultural factors to optimize breast cancer prevention strategies.
