Beast Cancer - Breast check Demo


It is always best to screen for breast cancer even before the occurrence of the symptoms. This would make the treatment easier. There are many ways to screen breast cancer. But the best way to screen is with the help of mammogram. Mammogram is recommended to all women who have reached the age of 40 and it should be done once in every one year. Mammogram helps to detect any lumps found on the breast. They even show small specks of calcium which are the precancerous cells. Also any abnormal cells that are present can also be found. But there are certain disadvantages in taking mammograms such as ‘false negative and ‘false positive’ results. In the case of ‘false negative’, it might not detect certain cancers and shows a negative result; on the other hand, in the case ‘false positive’, it might detect a non-cancerous area as cancer. Also, when the cancer had spread to other areas, it might not be able to detect. Mammogram is not very harmful because it uses only less radiations.
