302 Mammography screening in neurofibromatosis type 1

Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is a cancer-predisposing syndrome associated with an increased risk of breast cancer. Cutaneous neurofibromas may decrease the diagnostic feasibility of mammography. We aim at elucidating the feasibility of mammography in patients with NF1 by a retrospective register-based analysis of mammography screening. Finnish women aged 5069 years are invited to mammography screening biannually. The invitations, attendance and diagnostic findings are recorded in the Finnish Mass Screening Registry.
