In France, fewer than half of eligible women participate in the organized breast cancer screening program. While some may avoid the program due to fear or a lack of information, other factors are also at play. The number of radiologists, who interpret the screening images, has been decreasing, and delays in receiving results have become more common. These challenges have raised concerns about the effectiveness and accessibility of the program. Breast cancer screening typically involves a mammogram, a type of X-ray that can detect tumors before symptoms appear. Early detection is crucial for effective treatment, and organized screening programs aim to make this process more systematic and accessible. However, the current situation in France suggests that the system is under strain, with fewer medical professionals available to carry out the necessary examinations. To understand the reasons behind the drop in participation, we spoke with Professor Mario Campone, a breast cancer specialist and director of the West Cancer Institute (ICO), and Emmanuel Ricard, director of prevention and promotion of screening at the French League Against Cancer. Both experts emphasized the importance of addressing the shortage of radiologists and improving the efficiency of the screening process. Professor Campone highlighted that the shortage of radiologists is a major issue, as it leads to longer waiting times for appointments and results. Emmanuel Ricard added that efforts are being made to increase public awareness and improve the overall experience for women undergoing screening. Both experts stressed the need for a coordinated approach to ensure that the program remains effective and continues to save lives.
