The Importance of Mammography in Breast Cancer Screening
Last year, medical facilities in Odesa conducted 13,400 mammography tests, revealing over 500 cases of suspected oncological conditions. Women with identified abnormalities were referred for further consultation with specialists.
Mammography is a crucial screening method that allows for early detection of breast tumors and timely identification of precancerous conditions to initiate treatment. Women over 40 are advised to undergo mammography annually, even in the absence of complaints.
Free mammography is part of the state medical guarantee program, funded by the National Health Service of Ukraine for women aged 40 and older, based on a referral from their family doctor.
Odesa's medical institutions have been equipped with modern mammography machines funded by the city budget, and a unique Family Health Center has been established at Consultative Diagnostic Center No. 6 for comprehensive diagnosis and treatment of breast diseases.
