Women between age 40 to 60 are most prone for Breast Cancers. It is one of the leading cause of death in Women at early age. The Cancer Society of all Countries recommend every woman must screen for Breast Cancer every year between age 40 to 50 and every two years between age 50 to 60. If detected early all Breast Cancers can be completely cured. But once the cancer spreads it is almost impossible to cure it and will ultimately lead to death.
How to screen for Breast Cancer?
So far, the most recommended Breast Cancer screening has been Mammography done every year between age 40 to 50 and every 2 years between age 50-60. This is well-established Cancer Screening diagnostic test in developed countries. But in recent years after development of more and more efficient Ultrasound machines and technologies, Breast Ultrasound is gradually replacing the Mammogram. Moreover, in developing Countries like Nepal, the availability of Mammogram is difficult and because of its high cost, affordability is also an issue.
