  • Breast Cancer Screening: All You Need To Know

    Full Video Transcript: Breast Cancer Screening

    I’m Dr. Rita Saker, consultant breast oncoplastic surgery and gynecology, director of the breast clinic at Emirates Hospital, Jumeirah

    Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women worldwide. Yet when we detect it early, we can definitely control it. Screening for breast cancer starts with a mammogram at the age of 40 every year. It will allow to see any kind of micro classification or abnormality in the breast before they become palpable.

    mammogram is definitely safe. With mammogram  3D, we have a very low dose radiation much less than when you travel in the plane. In the opposite, it will allow us to detect very early any kind of abnormality. So the benefits are much much much higher than the risk.

    Patient with strong family history of breast cancer or carrier of mutation should start their screening at earlier ages than 40. It can be starting by 25–30 years old with breast ultrasound, MRI, mammogram depending on the type of the mutation and the type of the family history.

    An abnormal mammogram does not mean necessarily that we have a breast cancer. mammogram s a tool allowing us to detect any abnormality in the breast. But then there are more investigations that are required in order to make a proper diagnosis.

    Breast ultrasound is another tool that we use for diagnosis and screening for breast cancer. It can be used when the breasts are dense with not enough information from the mammogram. Also in young patients, pregnant ladies and breastfeeding ladies because abnormality in the breast can happen at younger ages as well.

    Breast biopsy is definitely necessary when there is an abnormality in the breast either on the mammogram or on the ultrasound or the MRI. It is a tool in order to establish a proper diagnosis matching the abnormality.

    Biopsy is definitely safe. It is a tool allowing us to make a proper diagnosis and proper treatment. In case of a cancer, it is allowing the diagnosis of the cancer and it is not spreading the cancer so that patient can then have the proper treatment. It is done by breast interventional radiologist under local anesthesia and then the tissue is analyzed by breast pathologist and all evaluated in a multi-disciplinary way to give a proper management and proper treatment whatever the result is benign or malignant.

    Mammogram , breast ultrasound, even breast MRI, contrast mammogram , AI programs are different tools that we are using for diagnosis and for screening of breast abnormalities benign or malignant. mammogram are using X-rays very low dose X-ray to detect specific types of micro classifications or images. Ultrasound with elastography are using ways special ways in order to detect specific kind of abnormalities such as cyst or solid lumps but all are complimentary depending on the purpose of the test and the age of the patient.
