Early Detection Saves Lives
October is breast cancer awareness month and considering it is the most common cancer in Qatar, we at Abu Issa Holding are dedicated to educating the public about this disease. Knowledge is power and together we can make a difference by understanding the importance of early diagnosis. It is pivotal that we share awareness and stimulate conversation among women living in Qatar about to prevent breast cancer.
Early Detection Matters
Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women worldwide. It can affect men too, although it’s rare. While it may seem daunting, knowing the facts is the first step in prevention and early detection.
In Qatar, breast cancer is one of the most common cancers among women, but it is most treatable when identified early.
- The Importance of Self-Exams: Regular breast self-exams can help observe changes in your breast tissue. If you notice anything unusual, such as a lump, skin changes, or nipple discharge, it’s crucial to consult a healthcare professional.
- Mammograms:For women over the age of 40, regular mammograms are essential. These X-ray screenings can recognize breast cancer even before symptoms appear. It is recommended to get annual mammograms starting at age 40.
