Breast cancer incidence in North Central Nigeria has notably surged in the recent past. To investigate the incidence of breast cancer within Benue State as a distinct entity, an exploratory retrospective study was conducted to examine the correlation between breast cancer incidence and screening rates across four selected healthcare facilities in Benue State over a 14-year time frame from 2010-2024. This study involved a thorough analysis of prior clinical records pertaining to breast cancer, concentrating on the incidence of cases and the frequency of screening, regardless of the specific programme methodologies employed. The findings revealed a significant disparity between the incidence of breast cancer and the rates of screening, with a mean incidence of 31.38 cases and a mere 3.86 cases receiving screening. The research identified a robust positive correlation between incidence and the number of screened cases, indicating that heightened awareness or increased incidence may lead to augmented screening initiatives. Nevertheless, the data agrees with the inconsistencies present in detection methodologies, as certain years exhibited a decline in screenings despite a flow in incident cases. The results reiterate the essential role of screening in the early detection of breast cancer and the potential for reducing the prevalence of advanced cases. This research reveals important consequences for public health approaches designed to enhance screening frequencies among populations that face a higher risk of breast cancer.
