Breast cancer is a cancer with a high incidence rate. Below are some common breast cancer monitoring methods according to Healthshots.

Singer Hong Nhung just posted a clip saying she has breast cancer and is in the recovery room after surgery.

Diva Hong Nhung said that when she was first diagnosed with cancer, she intended to hide her illness because she didn't want people to worry. Hong Nhung said: "However, after waking up from surgery, I changed and decided to share this image with all the women like me, who are undergoing treatment and fighting against breast cancer. I want to send them sympathy and, more than anything, share with each other the hope for good things, to overcome this disease together. Besides the love and care of friends, we also have each other."

Here are some common cancer monitoring methods according to Healthshots:

Clinical Breast Examination (CBE)

The clinical breast exam is the primary method of breast cancer screening. In this method, a health care professional directly examines the breast. This non-invasive procedure is designed to detect any abnormalities or changes in breast tissue that may indicate the presence of cancer or other breast-related conditions.

During a CBE, a health care professional will systematically examine the breast, checking for lumps, changes in size or shape, dimpling of the skin, discharge from the nipple, or other worrisome signs. The examination usually includes a visual inspection and manual palpation of the breast and lymph nodes.

Breast Self-Examination (BSE)

Breast self-examination is something women should do regularly to detect changes. Although it is not a substitute for a clinical breast exam or mammogram, BSE helps people become familiar with their breast tissue and recognize abnormalities.

During BSE, women systematically palpate their breasts and check for lumps, changes in size or shape, or other unusual features. Early detection through BSE can lead to timely evaluation and potentially improved outcomes in breast cancer management.

Mammography

Mammography (MG) is an essential method for screening and early detection of breast cancer.

Using low-dose X-rays: This method takes detailed images of the breast. During the procedure, gentle compression forces the breast tissue to make the images more accurate.

The three main functions include screening for asymptomatic women, diagnosing symptomatic or abnormal cases detected during screening, and monitoring diagnosed cases undergoing treatment.

Regular mammograms starting at age 40 improve treatment outcomes and survival rates by detecting breast cancer early. Doctors will recommend further tests such as ultrasound or biopsy if abnormalities are detected.
