Pink October: 5 questions to better understand breast cancer screening
Making prevention and screening easier to grasp
When should screening start?
Organized screening begins at age 50, but a personalized follow-up may be recommended earlier if there is a family history or specific risk factors. Talk to your GP or gynecologist to build the right timeline for you.
Which tests are used (mammogram, ultrasound)?
The mammogram remains the reference exam, sometimes followed by an ultrasound or MRI. Each exam has a clear role: confirming a doubt, monitoring an anomaly or refining the diagnosis. Docnkit explains every step and helps you prepare your questions ahead of the appointment.
