In the month of breast cancer awareness, free checkups

This has been confirmed in an interview for Kosova Prees and Sonja Blakay, oncologist, who has said it is good news that there is no increase in people affected in Kosovo. Since October, throughout the world, is the month of awareness of early breast cancer detection, Blakaj devotes special importance to this issue, inviting women to self - control, to perform breast - clinical examination by a health staff, and in case they have to do breast echo and mammography. The fact that the breast is an organ outside the toracal wall, she says, made it easy to control, since changes can be observed even in appearance.

Blakaj says that the Oncology Clinic offers all necessary conditions for diagnosis of this disease, and it is sufficient that women who are most likely to be affected by this cell disorder will be examined on time by a doctor.

Since October is the month of awareness of the early discovery of breast cancer, she indicated that the Oncology Clinic is offering free checks for women conducting checks at this clinic.

She says Kosovo has no tendency to increase the number of new breast cancer cases.

October worldwide is the month of awareness of the early discovery of breast cancer.

Based on data from the International Agency for Cancer Research in the World (GLOBOCAN), breast cancer has the highest incident of cancer types affecting women worldwide. At the same time, most breast cancer deaths occur in low and medium income countries, where most breast - cancer women are diagnosed in recent stages or when awareness of the importance of time detection is lacking.
