What Words Do You Say On A Christening Card

organized screening of breast cancer

campaign organized screening of breast cancer, a key measure of the Cancer Plan, covers all of France since March 2004.

Despite steady progress, the participation rate (40%) is still far from European indicators that set a target of 70 % For this program to be fully effective. It is therefore important to convince women to participate in the process of organized screening of breast cancer. From this point of view, the consultation may be an ideal time to inform patients and provide useful information on
the interest of screening.

The risk of developing breast cancer increases with age. Quite rare before age 30, it increases with age to become a maximum between 60 and 69 years. The average age is 61 years old at diagnosis.

Whatever age, it is important for women to be attentive to the presence of suspicious signs on the breast

* emergence of a "ball";
* Redness;
* occurrence of a blood stained discharge from the nipple ...

Although most of these signs are not serious, it is important to consult a doctor or a gynecologist in doubt.

Regular screening is recommended because of the increased risk associated with age. In general, we recommend a mammogram every two years. Women 50 to 74 are invited by mail by the public authorities to perform a mammogram. This is called the organized screening.
