Breast cancer is a disease caused by abnormal proliferation of breast cancer cells, forming a tumor.

Typically this tumor develops in women, but with the possibility of developing it in men as well, although it is rarer.

According to Saúde Plena, one in four women in the world is dealing with a breast cancer diagnosis.

Even though it is a serious illness, breast cancer has a high chance of being cured, even more so when the tumor is detected at an early stage.

Self-examination is considered the best way to prevent this cancer, and even though it is very significant, It is important to remember that it alone is not enough.

Mammography is the only diagnostic test capable of detecting the tumor with less than 1 centimeter, because with this size, the nodule cannot yet be felt during self-examination.

Second to FEMAMA – Federação Brasileira de Instituições Filantrópicas de Apoio à Saúde da Mama -, se o tumor estiver com menos de 1 centimeter (estágio inicial), as chances de cura chegam a até 95%.

É fundamental que além do autoexame, todas as mulheres façam seus exames de rotina, entre eles a mamografia.

Na jornada contra o câncer de mama, queremos cada vez mais mulheres guerreiras e vitoriosas.

Com palavras de apoio, a Ramelk encoraja todas as mulheres e homens diagnosticados com câncer de mama, para que além de seguir o tratamento com a cabeça erguida, tenha muita determinação.
