Queens of Grace with Carol OforiThe Round Table Discussion: October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month - 6 October 2020
THE ROUND TABLE DISCUSSION: Breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer amongst women in South Africa, affecting 1 in 28 women[1], and in urban communities the incidence is as high as 1 in 8 according to National Health Laboratory statistics. But early screening and detection of the disease dramatically improves women’s chances of survival and reduces the need for aggressive and invasive treatment.
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and the Breast Imaging Society of South Africa (BISSA) urges women to regularly self-examine and have an annual mammogram from the age of 40.
Guest: Prof Jackie Smilg, Chair of Breast Imaging Society of South Africa (BISSA) which is a sub-specialty group of the Radiological Society of South Africa
