Prevenţia care salvează. “Un rezultat bun ecografic nu exclude existenţa unui cancer in situ pe care îl putem vedea la mamografie”

Breast cancer prevention involves lifestyle changes and regular screenings like ultrasound and mammography. Dr. Bogdan Cocias emphasizes the importance of early detection, as many cases in Romania are diagnosed late due to fear of diagnosis. Ultrasound is recommended for women aged 30-40 annually, while mammography is advised every two years for those over 40. Both methods are crucial for identifying potential cancers, with mammography being the gold standard. Despite concerns about radiation and discomfort, modern techniques and equipment have improved the experience. Education and communication with patients are key to reducing anxiety and ensuring effective screenings.
