The NBCCEDP was established in
response to the the Congressional Breast and Cervical Cancer
Mortality Prevention Act of 1990. This Act mandates a program that
will provide early detection and breast and cercial cancer
screening services for under-served women. CDC proposes to
facilitate the comprehensive surveillance of breast and cervical
cancer screening, diagnostic and treatment data from NBCCEDP
grantees at the state, territory, and tribal level. These
aggregated data will include demographic information about women
served through funded programs. The proposed data collection will
also include infrastructure data about grantee management, public
education and outreach, professional education and service
delivery. Breast cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related death
among American women. The American Cancer Society (ACS) estimated
that 211,240 new cases would be diagnosed among women in 2005, and
40,410 women would die of this disease. Mammography is extremely
valuable as an early detection tool because it can detect breast
cancer well before the woman can feel the lump, when it is still in
an early and more treatable stage. Women older than age 40 that
receive annual mammography screening reduce their probability of
breast cancer mortality and increase their treatment options.
Although early detection efforts have greatly decreased the
incidence of invasive cervical cancer in recent decades, ACS
estimated that 10,370 new cases would be diagnosed in 2005 and
3,710 women would die of this disease. Papanicolaou (Pap) tests
effectively detect precancerous lesions in addition to invasive
cervical cancer. The detection and treatment of precancerous
lesions can prevent nearly all cervical cancer-related deaths.
Because breast and cervical cancer screening, diagnostic and
treatment data are already collected and aggregated at the state,
territory and tribal level, the additional burden on the grantees
will be small. Continuation of this program will require grantees
to report a minimum data set (MDE) on screening and follow-up
activities electronically to the CDC on a semi-annual basis. The
program will require grantees to report infrastructure data (STAR)
to the CDC annually using a web-based system. Information collected
will be used to obtain more complete breast and cervical cancer
data, promote public education of cancer incidence and risk,
improve the availability of screening and diagnostic services for
under-served women, ensure the quality of services provided to
women, and develop outreach strategies for women that are never or
rarely screened for breast and cervical cancer. Data collection
will continue for the next three years. The average annual burden
for this effort is 1,972 hours. There are no costs to respondents
except their time to participate in the survey.
There is no change in the
burden for this project.
