Breast Cancer Screening

Hello everyone! October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month (Pink Ribbon Month).

To all the hard-working women who are working so hard on their families and work, but putting their own needs on the back burner,
why not take this awareness month as an opportunity to think about your own health?

The incidence rate is increasing year by year, and the latest survey reports that one in nine women will develop breast cancer.
This is an astonishing number. The incidence rate increases after the age of 30, and it is particularly common for people in their 40s to be diagnosed.

And it is a disease that is more than 90% curable if detected early.

I hope you understand how important early detection is.
It may have negative images such as "scary'', "embarrassing'', and "painful'', and many people may feel reluctant to undergo it.
 

The first thing I would like everyone to do is self-check.
Please check yourself to see if there are any lumps or deformities in your breasts, or if you feel anything hard in your armpits.

However, early detection means finding it before there are any symptoms.
Especially for women over 40, we strongly recommend breast cancer screening at a medical institution for early detection.
If you are concerned about pain during mammography:
we recommend that you avoid visits before menstruation, when the breasts are swollen.

Our clinic has Japanese doctors who have experience in breast surgery,
including screening, surgery, and drug treatment, so please feel free to consult with us.
In addition, in order to encourage more people to undergo breast cancer screening,
we will hold a breast cancer screening promotion during the months of September and October!
Please take advantage of this promotion!
