Efficiency Analysis to evaluate a Breast Cancer Screening Campaign: A Case Study from Tunisia

摘要

Despite the tremendous clinical advances, breast cancer remains one of the deadliest cancers for women around the world. This has led to a wide variety of awareness and screening programs in several countries, with often questioned real impacts. In this perspective, this multidisciplinary study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the Tunisian national breast cancer screening campaign in 2019. The Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) approach was used to measure the relative effectiveness of the governorates with respect to this campaign. Preliminary numerical experimentation reveals promising results and highlights venues for future studies.
