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 – Brazilian Federation of Philanthropic Institutions to Support Breast Health -, if the tumor is less than 1 centimeter (early stage), the chances of a cure reach up to 95%.

It is essential that in addition to self-examination, all women have their routine exams, including mammography.
