Breast cancer screening
To Protect Your Health
The Most Important Steps
Breast cancer is one of the most common types of cancer that women encounter. However, with early diagnosis, the treatment of this disease is quite successful. As Medicina Gynecology and Obstetrics, we offer you the most accurate and up-to-date information on breast cancer screening.
What is Breast Cancer Screening?
Breast cancer screening is a series of tests performed to detect cancer in its early stages before it shows symptoms, so that it can be treated when it is smaller and before it spreads.
Why Should You Get Screened for Breast Cancer?
Early detection significantly increases survival rates for breast cancer. Regular screening can help detect cancer when it is very small and allow treatment to begin earlier.
How is Breast Cancer Screening Done?
The following methods are generally used in breast cancer screening:
Clinical breast examination: A specialist will perform a manual examination of your breasts.
Mammography: It is a method in which breasts are visualized with x-rays.
Breast ultrasound: It is a method in which images of the breasts are obtained using sound waves.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI): Used especially in women with dense breast tissue or in high-risk situations.
Benefits of Breast Cancer Screening
Early diagnosis: Cancer can be detected before it shows symptoms.
Successful treatment: Early diagnosis increases the chance of cure.
Less invasive treatment: Early-stage cancers can be treated with less aggressive treatments.
