Where are the breast screening centres in Lagos and Abuja?
Screening examinations are tests performed to find diseases before symptoms begin. The goal of breast screening is to detect a lump at its earliest and most treatable stage.
In breast cancer screening, a woman who has no signs or symptoms of breast cancer undergoes a breast examination such as:
- clinical breast exam: A physical examination of the breast by a doctor or other health professional.
- Mammography: A low dose X-ray exam that produces images of the breast called a mammogram. Mammography plays a central role in early detection of breast cancers because it can often show changes in the breast before you or you doctor can feel them.
- MRI of the breast may be used for women at high risk for breast cancer, typically because of a strong family history of the disease.
- Ultrasound of the breast (breast scan) may be used for women who are at high risk for breast cancer and unable to undergo an MRI examination or women who are pregnant and should no be exposed to x-rays used in mammography.
The above is just a summary of what breast cancer screening entails. Now are you in Lagos or Abuja and your dont know any breast screening centres around you? Worry no more, below is a comprehensive list of names, addresses and phone numbers of breast screening centres in Lagos and Abuja.
