This month, the Montchanin radiology center, specialized in the diagnostic treatment of breast cancer, is adorned with the colors of Pink October, month of prevention and awareness of breast cancer screening.
In France, breast cancer is the most common cancer in women. 1 in 8 women will be affected by this cancer during their lifetime.
However, if detected early, breast cancer can be cured in 90% of cases.
It is therefore important to detect this cancer at an early stage!
Regular screening by breast examination (self-palpation, medical examination) is necessary on a regular basis for all patients. But it doesn’t cover everything. Mammography, sometimes coupled with ultrasound, are the first-line imaging tests that make early diagnosis of breast cancer possible.
As part of screening organized at the national level, mammography is offered to patients aged 50 to 74. Before the age of 50, screening is already possible in certain cases, upon prescription from a doctor or midwife.
After age 74, mammography screening can be followed, on medical prescription.
In the event of a symptom (palpation of a nodule, breast deformation, etc.), you should not wait but consult a health professional quickly. Because talking regarding it means warning in order to act in time!
The entire team at the Montchanin radiology practice is proud to mobilize and participate in Pink October actions, thus making it possible to raise awareness among a large number of patients in the region of the importance of breast cancer screening: information for patients during their visit, decoration of the office in the colors of pink October……
The team hopes to make an impression, because talking regarding screening means fighting once morest breast cancer!
