The earlier breast cancer is diagnosed and treated, the better the chance of recovery. |
| |
Mammography can detect changes in the breast tissue before they develop into a lump large enough to be easily felt with fingers. |
| |
| Nevertheless more than 90% of breast tumours are first detected by women themselves. |
| |
| Common ways of detecting breast cancer : |
| |
 |
Breast self-examination |
| |
Become familiar with how your breasts normally feel, at different times of the month. You will then quickly be aware if there are any changes in your breasts that are not normal to you. |
| |
|
|
Mammography |
| |
Mammograms (breast X-rays) can often detect cancer before it can be felt, and for women over the age of 50, this is the best method of detection. |
