The DIF of Banderas Bay Prevents Breast Cancer with Exams

August 4, 2013 * We are testing women interested in checking themselves but first they must go to a health center to learn the requirements.

The System for Integral Family Development chaired by María del Refugio Gomez de Cervantes in coordination with the Ministry of State Health and Municipal Health initiate the Action Program for the Prevention and Control of Breast Cancer, with the aim of reducing mortality from this malignancy in women of the municipality.

Breast cancer in our country is a real public health challenge, as from the year 2006 it is the leading cause of death in women of over 25 years. Like in other malignancies, the moment the disease is discovered makes the difference between a survival prognosis, treatment response, and the economic, emotional and family cost, hence the importance of early detection, diagnosis and timely treatment.

The mammogram or mastography is a diagnostic X-ray image scan of the breast using devices called mammographs. These devices have X-ray emitting tubes that are specially adapted to achieve the highest resolution possible of the visualization of internal fibroepithelial structures of the mammary gland.

Women who are interested will be offered the mammography service from August 6th until October 2nd, 2013, but first they will have to go immediately to their respective health center, or contact us by telephone 329 2910050 ext.24, where we will provide more detailed information, since you have to meet certain requirements.
