In 2002, the Breast Screening Programme was introduced in the Czech Republic for women aged 45 to 69 years and with screening intervals 2 yeras. In 2007, the participation rate was 51,5 % (in 2003 12,6 %), screening detected cancers were predominantly small (Ca in situ and T1 cancers more than 73 %).
Accredited screening centres (in total 66) in the Czech Republic are checked ones in one or two years and produce very good results.
