One
day there may be a single method for the early detection of breast
cancer. Until then, using a combination of methods will increase
your chances of detecting cancer in an early stage. These methods
include :
- Annual
breast thermography screening for women of all ages.
- Mammography,
when considered appropriate for women who are aged 50 or older.
- A
regular breast examination by a health professional.
- Monthly
breast self-examination.
- Personal
awareness for changes in the breasts.
- Readiness
to discuss quickly any such changes with a doctor.
These
guidelines should be considered along with your background and medical
history.
