Breast cancer is the most common cancer affecting 22% of women worldwide as well as the leading cause of cancer deaths in 14% of all women. It is estimated that globally over one million new cases are diagnosed every year with 375,000 deaths attributable to breast cancer annually.
The breast, a relatively unimportant organ system for the male, is conversely one of the most significant systems in the female serving as the primary source of nutrition for infants and representing a major feminine characteristic that differentiates women from men. So we understand that achieving a kinder and gentler approach to breast cancer treatment while preserving the natural appearance of the breast are of vital importance to all women.
Advances in technology and surgical procedures offer exciting new possibilities to minimize the severity and duration of treatment regimens while also improving the survival rate of cancer patients.
But the key to a successful outcome with pleasing results still remains early detection combined with proper diagnosis. Early detection can only occur if women are aware of its potential benefits and actively seek it.
Available state-of-the-art equipment ensures that an accurate diagnosis is achieved. Finally, by identifying the cancer in its early stages, a less aggressive approach to the treatment of both benign and malignant conditions can be realized.
