National Aggregate

On this page

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 October 2007 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.

Program Overview

Women Served through the NBCCEDP
Five-Year Summary, 1/2002 to 12/2006

Women served* 1,852,812
Women screened** 1,800,976
Women receiving mammography 1,138,911
Women receiving Pap tests 1,108,006
Each category reports counts of unduplicated women receiving services within the 5-year period. Women may be counted in more than one category.

* Women served includes women receiving any NBCCEDP-funded screen or diagnostic procedure.

** Women screened includes women receiving any NBCCEDP-funded screen (mammography, clinical breast exam, or Pap test).
