According to Abdullah Ezzat, a consultant in oncology, breast surgery, and general surgery who is also a member of the Egyptian Oncology Association and the Royal College of Surgeons in England, early detection is crucial in the fight against breast cancer because it prevents the need for radical breast removal, minimises the side effects of chemotherapy, and radiotherapy, which increases recovery rates by more than 98% and lowers treatment costs.
Early research has focused on two primary areas.
First, in the absence of survey programmes for breast cancer, early identification of the disease is possible by being aware of the disease’s early symptoms and seeing a doctor as soon as any of them occur.
Second: It includes comprehensive breast cancer screening programmes, such as the President for Egyptian Women’s initiative, which involves subjecting the woman to a thorough medical examination by a specialist doctor with the work of breast rays (mammogram) on a periodic basis after the age of forty because they do not have symptoms of the disease as well as the work of ultrasound rays (Sonar TV) On the breasts as well as the MRI ray in some cases.
The comprehensive survey programme aims to identify women with the disease without the development of symptoms or pre-cancer cases, as well as the identification of women most vulnerable to breast cancer. However, we note and confirm to the women that in the event that any breast symptoms appear, they may raise doubts to consult a specialist immediately without hesitation to do what is necessary.
