  1. IMPORTANCE OF MAMMOGRAM IN THE PREVENTION OF BREAST CANCER • WWW.DRMURALISUBRAMANIAN.COM

  2. Presentation Overview TODAY'S DISCUSSION • What are the screening tests? • Mammograms • Clinical breast exam and breast self-exam

  3. We have seen over the years that breast tumour, if detected early, when it’s small and not spread to different parts, is easier to treat with successful results.

  4. What are the screening tests? • Early detectionrefers to finding and diagnosing a disease earlier than if you waited for symptoms to start. • When we find presence of a tumour in breasts during screening, it is usually small and confined to the breast. • Doctors usually consider the size of a breast tumour and how far it has spread to predict the prognosis.

  5. We recommend women between 40 and 44 to start getting screened with a mammogram every year. • Women between 45 to 54 should get mammograms every year. • Women 55 and older can choose to mammogram every other year.

  6. Mammograms Mammograms are a screening test for breast cancer in which low-dose x-rays are used for detection of tumours. If you can get a mammogram done every year, it can help find breast cancer at an early stage.

  7. Recently, a new type of mammogram called digital breast tomosynthesis or 3D mammography has become much moe popular. You can check with your doctor if they do provide this test and if this is the right choice for you.

  8. Clinical breast exam and breast self-exam While you can visit a doctor for regular check-ups, a self-examination at home is also recommended.
