Regular breast cancer screening increases survival rates significantly, with a 90% 5-year survival rate!

 

According to statistics from the Ministry of Health and Welfare, the incidence of breast cancer in women has increased the most rapidly over the past decade and thus cannot be disregarded. However, although many women fear the pain associated with having their breasts clamped by photography equipment, the truth is that the discomfort lasts less than one minute. Dr. Ming-Xin Ye, attending physician of Breast and Thyroid Gland Surgery at Chung Shan Medical University Hospital, recommends that women over the age of 40 perform routine self-breast examinations, particularly mammography, which can detect the vast majority of breast cancer tumors when they are still small and unnoticeable to the touch.

 

Moreover, according to Ministry of Health and Welfare statistics, the 5-year breast cancer survival rate is 97% in stage 0, 95% in stage 1, 89% in stage 2, 70% in stage 3, and 21% in stage 4. Wendy Y. Chen, a researcher at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, and her research team discovered that "although it is evident that the risk of developing breast cancer increases, no increase in mortality rates due to breast cancer has been observed."Obviously, breast cancer is no longer an incurable illness. With regular checkups, risk factors can be avoided, creating not only the opportunity to maintain breasts but also a high cure rate!
