Overview

• The Junta of Andalusia says about 2,000 women missed follow-up after doubtful mammograms and began individual calls Thursday to reopen cases and fast-track tests and care.
• Authorities report roughly 98% of flagged lesions are benign, but some women were later diagnosed with cancers that led to mastectomies and treatment.
• The main focus is Seville's Virgen del Rocío hospital, with additional cases tied to facilities in Cádiz and Málaga that officials have not detailed.
• The Amama patients' group describes six- to twelve-month delays in oncology reviews at Virgen del Rocío, and the health chief met the group pledging to examine procedures.
• Spain's Health Ministry plans to request cancer-screening data from all regions at the next interterritorial council to assess scale, and patients are weighing collective legal action.
