Pink October: 5 questions to better understand breast cancer screening

Demystifying prevention and screening

When should screening start?

Organized screening begins at age 50, but a personalized plan may be recommended earlier if you have a family history or specific risk factors. The key is to talk with your GP or gynecologist to set a timeline that fits you.

Which exams are involved (mammogram, ultrasound)?

The mammogram remains the reference exam, supplemented when needed by an ultrasound or MRI. Each test serves a precise purpose: confirming a concern, monitoring an anomaly, or refining the diagnosis. Docnkit explains every step and helps you prepare the right questions beforehand.

Warning signs to monitor yourself

A lump, redness, a change in the skin or the areola; these are signs that should prompt a medical visit. The app reminds you of self-check steps and helps you describe what you observe so you receive the most appropriate guidance.
