Nowadays breast cancer - or carcinoma - poses the most common cancer for women in the Czech Republic. Each year more than 5 500 new cases of this disease are diagnosed in our country. While the occurrence rate of the disease in the Czech Republic does not rank among the highest among economically advanced countries, the mortality rate is high and shows a continually rising tendency. The main cause if this rise is a high percentage (40 %) of women afflicted with the breast carcinoma coming to see a physician only at an advanced stage of the disease, when their chances of being cured are substantially lower.
Leave nothing to chance, have yourself examined and learn how to perform a breast self-exam.
Mammology - or senology - is the medical specialty dealing with both malignant and benign breast diseases. This rigorous prevention programme aims at identifying the disease in its earliest and therefore easily curable stages and and at the start of the most suitable treatment steps. The only dependable prevention method consists of regular check-ups in a mammology consulting programme.
Our Mammology Consulting Programme includes:
- clinical examination, including breast sonography (ultrasound examination)
- detailed discussion with a physician, detailed review of family medical history and analysis of risk factors
- instruction on how to properly perform a breast self-exam
- overall evaluation of your health status and recommendation of possible further preventive or treatment procedures
Based on these examinations, it is possible to exclude tumorous breast diseases, to dispel any unnecessary fear or to detect this perilous disease at its earliest stage, when effective treatment methods are available and most efficient.
