- Identifying Breast Cancer Screening Areas of Need: Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer incidence, and the second leading cause of cancer death, in Georgia women. Almost 5,300 malignant breast cancer cases are diagnosed and 1,100 women die of breast cancer every year in Georgia.
- Identifying Breast Cancer Screening Service Gaps: Certain areas of Georgia have higher proportions of women who qualify for free or low-cost breast cancer screening services but reside in counties that have no mammography facilities, leaving them at risk of a late-stage diagnosis.
