Breast Anatomy and Function

The breast is a symbol of femininity.

It particularly shapes the self-image of many women.

Breast cancer screening is of great importance because breast cancer is the most common cancer in women.

Any change in the breast should prompt a checkup.
Breast sonography is an examination of the breast using ultrasound waves. It is used to diagnose tissue changes in the breast glands. Malignant diseases can be detected and treated in time.

Mammograms are used to clarify unclear findings, for example if a lump or induration has been palpated whose cause is not clear.

Women at high risk for breast cancer should have regular mammograms to detect malignant changes at a curable stage.

Pay attention to your body’s signs and, if in doubt, make sure that any breast discomfort is cleared up early by a physician.
