Breast cancer is one of the most common and deadly cancers in women. However, if a patient discovers cancer or cancer risk early, especially in the pre-cancerous stage, the chances of a cure will increase, up to 90–95% chance of complete recovery.
Regular breast cancer screening helps to detect precancerous lesions or early cancers, even if the patient has not had any signs of breast disease. Early detection of cancerous pathogens helps patients shorten treatment time and reduce costs. In addition, early breast cancer treatment also improves the quality of live for patient by breast conservation and regeneration. This is a safe and highly accurate breast health check-up method that has become very popular in recent years.
