– In the years 2014 – 2022, within the framework of the preventive action “CANCER and HEALTH”, 3,455 women from the poviat of Rzeszów requested mammography. These are the people who have had a first preventive examination, but also those who regularly take advantage of the possibility of having a mammogram every 2 years.

– informs the Rzeszów district office.

Among the women who participated in the lottery accompanying this year’s “Cancer and Health” campaign, in-kind prizes were drawn, including cosmetics and make-up kits, fitness equipment and the main prize, which this year was a coffee machine. The solemn summary of the action and the award ceremony took place on Thursday, December 29 in ZOZ No. 2 in Rzeszów.

The event took place under the honorary patronage of Józef Jodłowski, the star of Rzeszów.

– The organizers also thank the sponsors and all the partners for their commitment and support in promoting cancer prevention. Cancer is a major public health problem worldwide. Breast cancer is currently the most frequently diagnosed cancer.

– the county wrote in thanks.

One of the most effective methods for detecting this disease is preventive mammography.

– Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women. It can affect any woman, regardless of age or family history of cancer. Healthy lifestyle – diet and exercise reduce the risk of disease, but do not prevent it. With regular preventive examinations, cancer can be detected at an early stage, when the chances of recovery are greatest. Breast cancer is diagnosed based on histopathological examination and imaging. The histopathological examination consists of removing tumor tissue by means of a biopsy. It should be remembered that the diagnosis of breast cancer is possible only with a core biopsy.

– says doctor Agnieszka Jagiełło-Gruszfield of the Oncology Center – Institute of Maria Skłodowska-Curie, on the pages of curerakapiersi.pl

In Poland, 23% of all cancer cases in women are breast cancers. Apart from the increase in the number of cases, the number of deaths caused by breast cancer is increasing dramatically. At the initial stage, the disease does not cause any symptoms, therefore an important factor in the cure of breast cancer is early diagnosis, which is possible thanks to
prevention and regular diagnostic examinations. The risk of developing breast cancer increases with age, with the peak incidence occurring in women between the ages of 50 and 69.
