Breast Health and Diseases

Breast Health and Diseases focuses on the prevention, early detection, and management of conditions affecting the breast. This includes both benign conditions like fibroadenomas and cysts, as well as breast cancer, which is the most common cancer among women worldwide. Breast health initiatives emphasize regular breast self-exams, clinical breast exams, and mammography screening to detect abnormalities early when treatment outcomes are most favorable. Diagnostic techniques such as ultrasound and MRI complement mammography in evaluating breast lesions and guiding biopsy procedures when necessary. Treatment approaches for breast diseases range from surveillance and hormonal therapies for benign conditions to surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and targeted therapies for breast cancer. Multidisciplinary care involving breast surgeons, oncologists, radiologists, and pathologists ensures comprehensive evaluation and personalized treatment plans to optimize breast health and quality of life for patients.
