Prevention pathways

Breast cancer is the most frequent in women, with an incidence of about 50,500 new cases of breast cancer per year (data from Aiom/Airtum, 2017). Essentially, one woman in every eight will receive a diagnosis of breast carcinoma during her lifetime.

The survival chances of affected patients depend not only on the promptness and appropriateness of oncological and surgical therapy but also on the stage of the disease at the time of diagnosis, namely how much the primary tumor has spread from the target organ to the surrounding tissues.

In this perspective, when it comes to breast cancer, prevention is the only solution to ensure an early diagnosis. Arsbiomedica has state-of-the-art digital mammography equipment;

The new “Direct Digital Mammography” represents the latest generation of diagnostic tools in senology.

At our facility, we have planned a dedicated program for all women, strongly recommended starting from the age of 40, who want to begin a comprehensive periodic prevention journey focused on breast health.

The pathway consists of a few periodic diagnostic checks, essential and non-invasive, which are carried out using cutting-edge technologies in the field, as well as relying on the expertise of a multidisciplinary team of dedicated specialists.

At the end of the pathway, patients, in addition to receiving immediate feedback on their health status, can rely on the support of a specialized breast specialist who will accompany them throughout the examination process and can become a real point of reference even for future check-ups.

Diagnostic tests:

• 3D mammography with tomosynthesis
• Breast ultrasound
• Breast examination by a breast specialist
• Transvaginal ultrasound
• Pap smear test
• Gynecological examination
