Hello
, everyone! I am Wang Hao, a physician. Today, I would like to share with you the importance of breast cancer screening. Breast cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors among women in the world, with high morbidity and mortality. Early detection and treatment of breast cancer is the key to improve the survival rate of patients. Therefore, breast cancer screening is of great significance for the prevention and treatment of breast cancer. Breast cancer screening refers to the process of breast cancer risk assessment and early detection of breast cancer in women through medical examination. Breast cancer patients with asymptomatic or mild symptoms can be found through screening, so that timely diagnosis and treatment can be carried out. Early detection and treatment of breast cancer can significantly reduce mortality. In addition, breast cancer screening can help doctors assess patients’risk factors and develop personalized prevention and treatment programs. Breast cancer screening mainly includes clinical breast examination and imaging examination. Clinical breast examination: including self-examination and doctor’s examination. Self-examination means that women regularly check their breasts for abnormal changes in their daily life. The doctor’s examination is carried out by a professional doctor, including palpation and inspection. Palpation is done by touching the breast and underarm area to check for lumps or lumps. Inspection is done by observing the shape, size, color and skin of the breast for abnormal changes. Imaging examination: including breast ultrasound, mammography (mammography) and breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Breast ultrasound is a commonly used non-invasive method to detect breast masses and structural abnormalities. Mammography is an X-ray method that can detect calcifications and masses in the breast. Breast MRI is a high-resolution imaging method, which is suitable for high-risk population and clinical screening of breast cancer. Breast cancer screening precautions: should be carried out under the guidance of a professional doctor. Women should have regular self-examination and clinical breast examination, and imaging studies if necessary. At the same time, women should pay attention to maintaining a healthy lifestyle, such as balanced diet, moderate exercise, avoiding smoking and excessive drinking. More frequent screening should be conducted for people at high risk of breast cancer, such as those with breast cancer in their families or those with other related genetic factors. In conclusion, breast cancer screening is of great significance for the prevention and treatment of breast cancer. Breast cancer can be detected and treated in time by regular clinical breast examination and imaging examination. At the same time, maintaining a healthy lifestyle is also an important measure to prevent breast cancer.
