Tables and graphs report on cancer screening services provided through the program in a recent 5-year period. The data represent clinical services funded directly through the NBCCEDP as reported in the April 2008 submission of the NBCCEDP Minimum Data Elements (MDE).

National aggregate data are typically used to report results from the program and as a standard to compare results of grantee programs. Comparing data across grantee programs is not advised due to extensive variation across programs. For information on interpreting the data, refer to Screening Program Data. For information on the program, refer to About the Program.

Maryland
Pap tests provided 36,472
Pap tests with abnormal results* 654
     Percentage of Pap tests with abnormal results 1.8
     Age-adjusted percentage** 1.8
Cervical cancers or cancer precursor lesions detected*** 365
     CIN-1 or LSIL 198
     CIN-2 or worse**** 167
     Rate of CIN-2 or worse detected per 1,000 Pap tests**** 4.6

*** Includes LSIL, HSIL, cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN)-1, CIN-2, CIN-3, carcinoma in situ (CIS), and invasive cervical cancer.

**** Includes HSIL, CIN-2, CIN-3, CIS, and invasive cervical cancer.

Table includes only NBCCEDP-funded Pap tests. Additionally, less than 16 women, not included above, were diagnosed with LSIL, HSIL, CIN-1, CIN-2, CIN-3, CIS, or invasive cervical cancer through the NBCCEDP following a Pap test funded through another source.

* Abnormals include mammogram results of: suspicious abnormality, highly suggestive of malignancy, and assessment incomplete.

** Adjusted to the age distribution of NBCCEDP participants 40 years of age and older having mammograms performed in calendar year 2000.

*** Breast cancers include invasive breast cancer, ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), and other in situ excluding lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS).

Table includes only NBCCEDP-funded mammograms provided to women age 40 and older. Additionally, less than 16 women, not included above, were diagnosed with CIS (other), DCIS, or invasive breast cancer through the NBCCEDP following a mammogram funded through another source.
