摘要:: Cases of breast and cervical cancer account for almost 40 percent of all cancers diagnosed in Illinois (United States) women. Information on screening rates, however, is not collected routinely for the populations at risk. This paper reports on surveillance indicators designed to identify target populations and evaluate programs. All cases of cancers of the breast (n = 38,824, including in situ) and invasive cervix (n = 2,763) with a known stage, among women aged 40 to 74, were identified through the population-based Illinois State Cancer Registry for 1986 to 1992. The proportion of breast cancer cases with in situ disease-stage and cervical cancer cases with a late invasive stage were selected as surveillance indicators. Differences by age and race were evaluated, as were age- and race-specific trends. The data suggest that Black women, aged 40 to 74 years, and White women, aged 65 to 74 years, should be targeted for breast-cancer-screening interventions. All women, aged 40 to 74, should be targeted for enhanced cervical-cancer-screening interventions. Significant trends in in situ breast cancer diagnoses were apparent in all age-race groups, however no significant decline in invasive cervical cancer was found for any age-race group. The indicators identified the age- and race-specific disparities among potential target populations for breast and cervical cancer screening.
