About breast cancer
Breast cancer is rapidly increasing due to the westernization of dietary habits and the prolonged exposure to female hormones due to a decrease in childbirth experience, and it is said that one in nine women suffer. . As it progresses from the early stage, there are stages from stage 0 to stage IV, but if it is up to stage 1 (* 1), the 10-year survival rate exceeds 90%.
However, in most cases there are no subjective symptoms such as pain at an early stage, so early detection by health check-up is necessary.
※1: It refers to a time when the lymph nodes have no metastasis and the cancer is up to 2 cm or less.
