…Let’s join early breast cancer detection campaign
Breast cancer is the number one cancer in Thai women. Even though, there are only 40 in every 100,000 Thai women, who are in the fertility age, have breast cancer every year but the trend is going up. However, the mortality rate of breast cancer in women is clearly decreasing if the cancer is detected in an early stage. So, breast cancer screening is very important.
The scariest part of breast cancer is no early warning sign. By the time, you can palpate your own breast lumps, the breast cancer may advance to another stage. From international journal of research studies, all agreed that early breast screening by mammography, can detect the early stage of breast cancer. Mammography procedure is acceptable internationally with a quick result so a physician can start treatment as earliest as possible to increase a chance of survival.
