Women were once advised to palpate their breasts every month. As the exercise was agonizing and ineffective, the doctors gave up. A good glance is enough!

However, the breasts are special organs, the anatomy of which changes over the course of life.

Taking and losing weight, pregnancy, breastfeeding, hormonal fluctuations... All these elements can influence the appearance and texture of the breast. If you notice an anomaly, it does not necessarily mean that you have cancer. On the other hand, you have to go to the doctor to check it.

Attention, most of the time, there is no symptom, no pain. So you have to do your screening without waiting for any symptoms. The symptoms, if they are there, indicate that you have to consult very quickly, because if there is cancer, you will have to diagnose and operate very quickly.

Breast cancer screening: At the right time, in the right person
Apart from any alarming signs, and any risk factors, the baseline examination is mammography in the context of organized breast cancer screening, which concerns women from 50 years of age.

Carried out every two years, this mammography (breast X-ray) detects abnormalities when they are very small, before they are visible or susceptible to women or their doctor.

Carried out in approved centres, each demography is double-read: The images are interpreted by two radiologists for a more reliable result.
