The Importance of Regular Mammograms and Early Detection
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and at Radiology Associates, we want to emphasize the importance of regular mammograms in early detection. Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers among women, but the good news is that early detection through regular mammograms significantly increases survival rates. Mammograms can detect breast cancer in its early stages, even before symptoms appear, giving women more treatment options and better outcomes.
Why Are Regular Mammograms Important?
A mammogram is an X-ray imaging technique used to examine breast tissue. It’s one of the most effective ways to catch breast cancer early, often before symptoms appear.
Early detection is key in the fight against breast cancer. According to the Canadian Cancer Society, mammograms can reduce breast cancer mortality by as much as 25% in women aged 50-69. By catching cancer early, treatment can begin before the disease progresses, leading to a higher chance of successful recovery.
