Mammography
Mammography is a critical diagnostic tool for the early detection of breast cancer, one of the most common cancers affecting women worldwide. At Shree Jagannath Charitable Cancer Hospital, the mammography unit plays a vital role in empowering women with timely and accurate breast health assessments, particularly in underserved communities.
Importance of Mammography in Breast Cancer Detection
Mammography uses low-dose X-rays to create detailed images of breast tissue, enabling the detection of abnormalities that may not be palpable during physical examinations. Its importance lies in:
- Early Detection: Identifying breast cancer in its earliest stages, when it is most treatable and survival rates are highest.
- Screening: Facilitating routine breast health checks for women, especially those at higher risk due to family history or other factors.

- Monitoring: Evaluating the effectiveness of treatments for patients undergoing breast cancer therapy.
