Awareness-raising on breast cancer
Global research in 2020 showed that breast cancer has become the leading malignant tumour in the world, and that it has received widespread attention as breast cancer screening advances and female health awareness increases significantly. Every year, October is the World Breast Cancer Month, also known as the Pink Ribbon Month, which aims to promote a focus on women’s breast health and to actively promote the concept of early detection, diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer throughout society. While there are a number of associated risk factors such as genetic and specific genes, obesity, early menstruation, menstruation, mammography, infertility, late childbearing, inappropriate hormonal intake, etc., breast cancer, etc., there are no effective methods of prevention at the first level, so early diagnosis is critical, and early breast cancer can last up to 90 per cent over five years. What do we do in our daily lives to detect breast anomalies? First, learn to examine yourself. It is recommended that one self-censorship is conducted every month and that women before menopausal leave the system 7-14 days after menstruation. Step 1: Face the mirror with a straight shoulder, arms on the hip, breasts in the mirror, arms up, again. Step 2: Squeeze the nipples and see if there is any fluid coming out. Step three: Lie down, touch the breasts with an index finger, middle finger, no name, and move around under pressure, and check the whole breast, including the armpit. Watch out, don’t scratch your breasts when you check. The breast self-testing is timely when one of the following anomalies is detected: a change in the nipple, including a nipple intubation, rinsing, cursing, strangulation, squeezing and spilling of blood. 2. Breast swelling. 3, breast skin changes or contours, including skin redness, ulcers, local dents, skin oedema or local rises. 4 – The swelling on the armpit or collarbone. Some signs of breast cancer can be detected through self-inspection, but the necessary means of early detection is screening for breast cancer. The Guide to Breast Cancer Screening for Women in China (2022 editions) recommends that the general population at risk: (1) women aged 18 to 25 years, 1 is taught about breast cancer prevention and treatment; and a self-censorship is conducted once a month in February. (2) For women between the ages of 26 and 40, 1 is taught about breast cancer prevention and treatment; 21 self-inspection visits per month; and 3 medical clinical examinations per year. (3) For women between the ages of 41 and 70, 1 is taught about breast cancer prevention and treatment; 2 self-inspection visits per month; 3 medical clinical examinations per year; 4 mammogram examinations per year, taking into account China ‘ s national situation, to check the preferred breast ultrasound and, if necessary, assist in mammography X-rays. (4) For women over 70 years of age, 1 is taught about breast cancer prevention and treatment; 2 self-examinations per month; 3 clinical medical examinations per year; 4 opportunistic screenings (imagings in case of symptoms or suspicious signs). For high-risk groups, consultation with mammologists is recommended. High-risk groups include: (1) family history of breast cancer with immediate family members (parents, children and brothers, sisters); (2) women with a history of breast cancer; (3) history of breast dyslexia (cumulative dose of thallium 10 Gy) before the age of 30; (4) persons diagnosed as an abnormal increase in the skin of a catheter or a leaf before the age of 40 or as a primary cancer of a leaf. Breast cancer is not scary. Early detection, early diagnosis and standardized treatment are key. Let us focus on the breast, raise awareness of self-censorship and screening and avoid breast cancer.
