Hepatitis C Screening Paired With Mammography

Sponsor: University Hospital, Montpellier

Summary

In France, a breast cancer screening is organized since 2004 for women aged 50-74. On the other hand, even though the seroprevalence of hepatitis C in the general French population is less than 1%, it is estimated that more than 75,000 people live with the virus without knowing it. To answer the WHO objective of eliminating hepatitis C by 2030 and in France by 2025, the investigators need to organize targeted screening. Women aged more than 50 years old, by their possible antecedents in life, are an exposed population. The investigators propose to pair the already organized breast cancer screening with a hepatitis-screening test by rapid diagnostic orientation test (TROD) and evaluate the adherence of women in this paired screening. For women with positive TROD, a specialized care will be organized.
