How many of you know how many people get breast cancer?

The most common type of cancer in women by site ← Surprisingly, the younger generation may not know this.

Latest statistics show that the disease affects 1 in 9 people

Not easy to recognize early symptoms

Self-checking for the presence of lumps is effective, but lumps that can be touched are often already in advanced stages
(Self-checks are recommended, but not many people seem to be able to notice abnormalities in the first place.)

If you are concerned about lumps, also pay attention to the discharge from the nipple (secretion is easy to recognize, so check it regularly)

Hematochezia, which is blood coming from the tumor.

(It may be a benign tumor, but it is not to be left untreated, as some people with stage 0 breast cancer also have it.

Breast cancer screening

The government recommends biennial checkups, but doctors recommend annual checkups.

Mammography is mandatory, but since there are about 20% of cases that do not show up, it is better to have an echo (ultrasound) examination as well.
(It is said that 98% of cancers are detected by this set-up.)

(It is said that 98% of cancers are detected by this set-up.) On the other hand, there is no data that cancer can be detected by ultrasound, so it is not recommended to have an ultrasound alone.

In addition, mammograms performed by local governments are often only taken from one direction due to cost issues, and unfortunately, the accuracy is not high.

I would like you to get a checkup at a hospital at your own expense (think of it as a kind of self-investment, and get one once a year).

To eliminate your anxiety, first of all, make sure to get regular checkups for breast cancer, which is said to be highly probable!
