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 2010 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.

Nevada
Pap tests provided 27,762
Pap tests with abnormal results* 705
     Percentage of Pap tests with abnormal results 2.5
     Age-adjusted percentage** 3.7
Cervical cancers or cancer precursor lesions detected*** 319
     CIN-1 or LSIL 173
     CIN-2 or worse**** 146
     Rate of CIN-2 or worse detected per 1,000 Pap tests**** 5.3
     Age-adjusted rate per 1,000 Pap tests** 9.2
* Abnormals include Pap test results of: low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL), high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL), atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance – cannot exclude HSIL (ASC-H), atypical glandular cells (AGC), and squamous cell cancer.

** Adjusted to the age distribution of NBCCEDP participants having Pap tests performed in calendar year 2000.

*** 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.

Breast Cancer Screening Results and Outcomes
Five-Year Summary, 7/2004 to 6/2009
Nevada
Mammograms provided 15,167
Abnormal mammograms* 2,144
     Percentage of abnormal mammograms 14.1

* Abnormals include mammogram results of: suspicious abnormality, highly suggestive of malignancy, and assessment incomplete (further imaging studies or film comparisons required).

** 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. An additional 19 women, not included above, were diagnosed with CIS (other), DCIS, or invasive breast cancer through the NBCCEDP following a mammogram funded through another source.
