1523 Background: According to the World Health Organization,the number of breast cancercases in developing countries will increase dramatically by the year 2050. Egypt is likely to see an increase in this disease burden unless effective programs for early detection and control are implemented. Many women, especially those who are medically underserved, still do not understand the importance of regular mammograms, or how and where to get one. Methods: Four mobile mammography vans were launched in October 2007, to screen women over 45 years old in the underserved areas of Cairo. Each van was equipped with a full field digital mammography (FFDM) machine, dedicated computer system linked to the National Breast Screening Center via video SAT & ADSL, sphygmomanometer, blood glucose measuring kit, and spring scale and meter to measure weight and height. Based on positive findings, patients were directed to Cairo University Hospital to receive appropriate treatment. Mobile units continued to operate through October, 2008. Results: From October 2007 through October 2008, 11,414 women were screened for breast cancer, hypertension, diabetes, and obesity. Two hundred forty four (2.13%) women were radiologically positive for cancer; of these, only 112 (45.9%) women agreed to be recalled for assessment; of these, 49.1% were confirmed to be true positive with BI-RADS 4,5 (61% cases were mass, with 27.9 % 1–2 cm in size; 16.4% cases were microcalcifications alone; multicentricity in 6.6 %; bilaterality in 2.5% of cases). 36.6% were false positive, and 14.2% are under further investigation. Conclusions: Although Cairo is the most developed city in Egypt, there is lack of breast cancer awareness, especially in the underserved areas. Breast cancer is now a priority for the Ministry of Health, with four more vans and 10 fixed FFDM units to be implemented during the next year. A 5-year plan has been established to cover all 29 Egyptian Governorates. No significant financial relationships to disclose.
