Frequently Asked Questions
Breast cancer screening is a process to detect breast cancer at an early stage in women who may not have any symptoms. It typically involves mammography, but additional tests like ultrasound or MRI may be recommended in certain cases.
The recommended age to start breast cancer screening varies depending on guidelines. It is suggested to start mammograms between the ages of 40 and 50, but it's best to consult with your healthcare provider for personalised advice.
The frequency of mammograms can vary based on personal and family history. Typically, mammograms are done every one to two years.
Mammograms can cause some discomfort or pressure as the breasts are compressed during the procedure. However, the discomfort is usually brief and tolerable for most women.
Mammography has a high sensitivity but is not 100% accurate. It may occasionally miss some breast cancers, especially in women with dense breast tissue. Hence, additional tests or clinical exams may be recommended if there are suspicious symptoms or findings.
Yes, additional screening methods like ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may be used in specific situations. They can provide further information in cases where mammography results are inconclusive or for high-risk individuals.
Mammography is generally considered safe. The radiation exposure is minimal, and the benefits of early cancer detection outweigh the potential risks. However, there is a small risk of false-positive results, which may lead to unnecessary follow-up tests.
Yes, although rare, men can develop breast cancer. Men with a family history or other risk factors should discuss screening options with their healthcare provider.
Breast self-exams are no longer recommended as a routine screening tool due to limited evidence of their effectiveness. However, being aware of changes in your breasts and promptly reporting any concerns to your healthcare provider is still important.
Several risk factors can increase the likelihood of developing breast cancer, including age, family history, certain genetic mutations (e.g., BRCA1 and BRCA2), early menstruation, late menopause, hormone replacement therapy, obesity, and alcohol consumption.
Yes, studies suggest that breastfeeding can slightly lower the risk of breast cancer, particularly if done for a longer duration.
Dense breast tissue is associated with a slightly higher risk of breast cancer. It can also make mammogram interpretation more challenging, which is why additional screening methods may be recommended for women with dense breasts.
Mammography can detect most types of breast cancer, including invasive and non-invasive forms. However, certain rare types, such as inflammatory breast cancer, may not always be detected by mammograms alone.
There is no need to stop using deodorant or antiperspirant before a mammogram. It does not interfere with the results or affect the screening process.
Maintaining a healthy lifestyle can contribute to reducing the risk of breast cancer. This includes regular physical activity, maintaining a healthy weight, limiting alcohol intake, and avoiding or quitting smoking.
No, there is no evidence to suggest that mammography causes breast cancer to spread. The benefits of early detection far outweigh any potential risks.
High-risk individuals, such as those with a strong family history or genetic mutations, may require more frequent or additional screening methods. Genetic counselling and testing can help assess the level of risk and guide appropriate screening recommendations.
If you discover a breast lump or notice any other changes in your breasts, it's important to promptly consult your healthcare provider. They will evaluate the lump and determine if further tests, such as a mammogram or ultrasound, are necessary.
