The opportunity to recall the possibility of carrying out breast cancer screening in the Women’s Imaging service at Pierre Paul Riquet on the Purpan site.
“Currently, almost 1 in 8 women will be affected by breast cancer during her lifetime. Each year in France, there are 59,000 new cases and nearly 12,000 deaths. Fortunately, screening saves thousands of lives! Detected at an early stage, breast cancer can be cured in almost 9 cases out of 10. Screening is a clinical examination of the breasts by a professional associated with a mammogram. Between the ages of 50 and 74 (without symptoms or high or very high risk level) organized screening by mammography is recommended every 2 years. In Occitania, only one in two women takes part in organized screening. The Toulouse University Hospital’s Women’s Imaging Department has been transformed into a service for women to support them in this care. Fr
case of a suspicious image, we refer the patients to the specialist for further care in partnership with the IUCT-Oncopole. » Dr. Louise Destombes, Medical Imaging Department.
