Importance of breast self examination
Post written and published by Raúl García Rico, November 2, 2017
Self-examination of breasts has always been a commonly spread message through cancer associations, the media and medical figures as it can be a key step to find a breast cancer at its early steps. Breast cancers that are found within its early stages give women have a cure percentage of 100%. According to Breastcancer.org, nearly ten years ago a research made in Russia and China concluded that self-examination does not reduce breast cancer mortality, but in the recent years a contrary message has been spread as any alteration found in breasts can mean finding a possible tumour at its early steps. Besides, investments done in research about this disease along with the increase of periodically breast cancer screenings have had a big impact on the way breast cancer is treated so mortality rate have decreased considerately. Here you can find links to Breast Cancer Org as well as AECC ,a Spanish association against cancer and also an image that represents a guide to self examination.
