Breast cancer affects 1 in 9 Japanese women over their lifetime, making it the most common cancer in women. When detected early, the cure rate exceeds 90%; however, by the time symptoms appear, the cancer has often already progressed. Combining "mammography," which detects calcifications and small lumps, with "breast ultrasound," which is better suited for younger women and those with dense breast tissue, improves overall detection accuracy.
An X-ray imaging exam specifically for the breasts that detects lumps and calcifications
An examination that uses ultrasound to inspect the inside of the breast. Suitable for younger patients as well.
Recommended frequency
Women aged 40 and older are recommended to undergo mammography at least once every 2 years. For women in their 30s or those with dense breast tissue, combining mammography with breast ultrasound is advisable.
