Breast cancer screening
and treatment program

  • This is an essential test for breast cancer. The breast is pressed against two plates to achieve a certain thickness and then photographed using X-rays.

  • It is used to precisely examine lesions found in mammography or breast examination, and is used as an auxiliary examination method when high-density breasts are confirmed in mammography.

  • It is more expensive than other tests, but there is no radiation exposure and both breasts can be clearly compared.

  • This test is useful for determining the stage of breast cancer, determining treatment effectiveness, and checking for recurrence after breast cancer is confirmed.

  • It is used to detect breast cancer, check the presence and extent of lymph node metastasis, and metastasis to other organs such as bone or liver.

  • When there is a breast lump, a biopsy is performed by collecting tissue using fine needle aspiration cytology, needle biopsy, mammogram biopsy, etc. to check for cancer cells.
