Early detection is the keystone of successful treatment. If Pink October is a nice reminder in this area, prevention also works all year round, as the Regional Cancer Screening Coordination Center – Burgundy-Franche-Comté (CRCDC-BFC) points out: “All Women aged 50 to 74 can be screened for breast cancer every two years. In practice, every two years, women in the region receive an invitation to carry out a screening examination sent by the CRCDC-BFC. This allows you to make an appointment with an approved radiologist, the list of which is provided in the mail. During this appointment, a mammogram and a clinical breast examination (palpation and observation of the chest by a radiologist) are carried out. These examinations, carried out as part of organized screening, are carried out without advance payment.
Treat more easily and limit the following-effects
A simple, free gesture that makes it possible to detect the most common and deadliest cancer in women as early as possible. Indeed, each year, more than 60,000 new cases are detected in France and in 80% of cases, they affect people aged over 50. “Detection at an early stage of its development can make it easier to treat, but also to limit the following-effects linked to certain treatments. »
However, things are stuck, as the regional screening coordination center deplores: “Participation in the organized screening program remains too low: 47.7% of the women concerned have completed their screening examination for the period 2021-2022 in France . In Burgundy-Franche-Comté, participation in breast cancer screening is 54.3% for the same period. » Good, but not enough.
