The Current Early Detection Guidelines
One day there may be a single method for the early detection of breast cancer. Until then, using a combination of methods will increase your chances of detecting cancer in an early stage.
These methods include:
|
• Annual Thermogram screening for women of all ages, especially those under 50.
|
• Mammography, when considered appropriate for women who are aged 50 or older.
|
• A regular breast examination by a health professional.
|
• Personal awareness for changes in the breasts.
|
• Readiness to discuss quickly any such changes with a doctor.
