From a 0.5% incidence this has risen to 2% to 4% in a few years. Men should know that there are also mammary glands in the male breast that are feasible to develop the disease, “.
Experts predict that in the next five years breast cancer will continue to dramatically increase, therefore, recommended regular checkups is advised because it’s better to be safe than sorry.
” You can not avoid breast cancer if at some stage in our life we are affected by this disease, what we can do is detect it early and with it the possibility of healing the patient, ” he said.
Every woman should have breast self-examination on a monthly basis, clinical evaluation once a year and bilateral mammography after age 40 on an annual basis. This last test helps the early detection of cancer in asymptomatic patients; there is no other one that helps the diagnosis.
