Breast cancer is one of the most common oncological conditions encountered in women and represents an important public health problem. Although the diagnosis can be perceived as serious, Medicover specialists emphasize the importance of prevention and early detection, which significantly increase the chances of cure and the effectiveness of treatment. Correct information and regular medical check-ups are essential for maintaining breast health.
The importance of early detection
Approximately 25% of all cancers diagnosed in women are cases of breast cancer, many being discovered late, most often, due to the lack of periodic screening. Early detection allows rapid initiation of treatment and greatly improves the prognosis. Within the Medicover network, patients have access to specialist consultations and modern imaging investigations, adapted to age and risk factors.
Causes of breast cancer
The occurrence of breast cancer is influenced by age, family history, BRCA1 and BRCA2 genetic mutations, but also by lifestyle factors. In the early stages, the disease can be asymptomatic, which is why regular check-ups are extremely important. The appearance of a lump, nipple changes, unusual discharge, or breast skin changes require prompt medical evaluation.
Mammography is the standard screening method
Reducing the risk of breast cancer involves a healthy lifestyle and regular checkups recommended by your doctor. Breast self-examination can help spot changes early, but is not a substitute for screening imaging.
Mammography is the standard screening method for breast cancer and must be performed periodically, according to the advice and indications of specialists. Investigations carried out in Medicover centres, with modern equipment and interpreted by specialists, contribute significantly to early diagnosis and improving the chances.
