Breast cancer is often associated with the presence of a lump, but it’s important to understand that this is not always the case. In fact, many women diagnosed with breast cancer never experience any noticeable signs or symptoms, including lumps. This common misconception can lead to delays in diagnosis and treatment, which is why regular screenings are crucial.
One of the most effective tools in the early detection of breast cancer is the mammogram. Mammograms can identify abnormalities in the breast tissue long before they can be felt or seen. Early detection through screening increases the chances of successful treatment and can save lives.
In the latest episode of #ThursdayswithTang, Dr. Tang sheds light on this critical topic. He explains how breast cancer can develop without any apparent symptoms and emphasizes the importance of regular mammograms. Dr. Tang also addresses the psychological barriers that women may face when it comes to getting screened and offers practical advice on overcoming these challenges.
By spreading awareness and debunking myths, we aim to empower women to take charge of their health. Watch Dr. Tang debunk the myth that breast cancer always presents with a lump and learn more about the importance of regular screenings.
