Cancer screening is a proactive step that helps detect disease at an early stage - the point at which treatment is most effective. At Phuc Khang 5D Ultrasound Clinic, ultrasound screening of the thyroid, breast and cervix is performed to detect suspicious lesions early.
The importance of early screening
Many common cancers in women, such as breast cancer, thyroid cancer and cervical cancer, can be detected early by non-invasive methods. Detection at an early stage significantly increases the chance of successful treatment and reduces the burden of treatment.
Scope of screening
- Thyroid: detection of nodules, cysts and lesions suspicious for malignancy.
- Breast: examination of glandular tissue, detection of nodules and abnormal lesions.
- Cervix: combining ultrasound with specialized tests as indicated.
Who should be screened?
- Women over 30, especially those aged 40 and over.
- People with a family history of breast cancer or thyroid cancer.
- People with risk factors such as obesity, endocrine disorders or radiation exposure.
- Women who are married should have periodic gynecologic examinations and screening.
Process at Phuc Khang
A specialist doctor directly performs the ultrasound, assesses the characteristics of the lesion and advises on the monitoring plan. When an abnormality is detected, the doctor will guide the next steps, such as additional tests or fine needle aspiration.
Screening results are orientational and should be interpreted by a specialist doctor. Periodic screening as recommended helps protect your health proactively.
