Breast Cancer Screening – MG Cancer Hospital

Breast cancer screening aims to detect cancer early, often before symptoms arise, increasing the chances of successful treatment. Common methods include mammograms, which use X-rays to find tumors, and breast ultrasounds for dense tissue imaging. High-risk individuals may benefit from breast MRIs. Women aged 50-74 are generally advised to undergo mammograms every 1-2 years. Early detection through screening can lead to improved survival rates and a broader range of treatment options. However, potential risks include false positives and overdiagnosis. Regular screening empowers individuals with vital knowledge for proactive healthcare. Consult healthcare providers for personalized screening plans.
