Breast cancer is considered the deadliest disease in females if not detected and treated immediately. Understanding the importance of early detection of this cancer, Thu Cuc Medical System TCI has set up the examination package for females to screen and early detect breast cancer.
1. Breast cancer is a dangerous disease that we should not underestimate.
According to the statistics by Globo can, Vietnam has the highest rate of breast cancer in the world. Specifically, newly acquired cases are 15,229 and the number of dead cases is 6,103. This is an alarming number, making us pay more attention to the screening, protection, and effective treatment.
In reality, breast cancer is a fatal and commonly seen one, but it is usually detected lately. Meanwhile, an active screening can help patients detect the illness in its earliest stage and can be completely cured up to 98%. Therefore, Thu Cuc TCI has launched the package for screening and early detecting breast cancer with a view to detecting abnormalities in the mammary gland. Based on these abnormalities, doctors will take measures to diagnose and early detect breast cancer. The goal of this package is to increase the percentage of early detection and reduce the mortality rate.
