Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women globally, and it also ranks as the highest form of cancer in Sri Lanka. Affecting millions worldwide, this type of cancer is primarily seen in women, particularly during their midlife years. However, the impact of breast cancer extends beyond the individual—it affects families, communities, and societies. As caregivers and vital members of their households and workplaces, women often overlook their own health while prioritizing the care of others.
It is crucial for women to take charge of their health. Many times, a mother might remind a spouse or a child to seek medical attention, but may neglect her own symptoms. This highlights the importance of breast cancer awareness, where early detection can save lives. By being aware of the signs, women can ensure early intervention, which significantly increases the chances of successful treatment, often with minimally invasive methods.
One of the key ways to detect breast cancer early is through breast self-examinations. Following the "Touch, Look, Check" (TLC) approach, women can perform regular self-checks to identify any unusual changes in their breasts. Here's a recommended screening protocol by age group:
These simple steps allow women to stay aware of their bodies and notice changes early, enabling them to seek timely medical attention
In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Asiri Health is offering various support programs, including discounted screening packages at our clinics across different hospitals. These initiatives aim to encourage women to get checked and promote awareness about the importance of early detection.
