MAMMOGRAPHY
X-ray mammogram (also called “mammo”) is available at the Delhi and Noida facilities. Doctors use a mammogram to look for early signs of breast cancer.1 Breast cancer is the commonest malignancy among women globally.2 In India, the incidence has increased significantly, almost by 50%, between 1965 and 1985.3 All population-based cancer registries have shown a significant increase in the trend of breast cancer.4
A mammogram can often find or detect breast cancer early, when it’s small and even before a lump can be felt. This is when it’s likely to be easiest to treat.5
