October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a time to focus on the importance of regular screenings. At Oasis Medical Group, we’re committed to supporting women in our community with screening services, helping ensure early detection when it’s most effective. Breast cancer affects one in eight women in the U.S., and early detection can make all the difference in treatment options and survival rates. We encourage you to prioritize your health this month and consider scheduling a breast cancer screening.
Why Breast Cancer Screening is Essential
- Early Detection Saves Lives
Regular screenings like mammograms help detect cancer in its early stages, often before symptoms appear. Detecting breast cancer early usually means smaller tumors and fewer invasive treatments, increasing survival rates and providing more options for care. - Understanding Personal Risks
Regular screenings are particularly important for those with risk factors such as a family history of breast cancer. However, even without known risks, breast cancer can develop unpredictably, so screenings remain important for all women. - Increased Peace of Mind
Regular screenings offer reassurance that you’re taking control of your health. They not only help catch potential issues but also provide peace of mind, letting you focus on the things that matter most. - Better Screening Technology
Today’s advancements in mammography mean screenings are more precise, faster, and more comfortable. Oasis Medical Group offers state-of-the-art equipment to deliver accurate, clear images, which help our professionals identify any issues early on.
When to Start Screening
Each woman’s needs are unique, but general guidelines can help:
- Ages 40-49: Start annual or biennial screenings, especially with a family history of breast cancer.
- Ages 50-74: Most women benefit from annual mammograms in this range.
- High-Risk Individuals: Women with strong family histories or genetic predispositions may need to start earlier. Consult with your physician to personalize your schedule.
Speaking with your doctor about the right schedule for you is the best way to prioritize your health and keep on track.
