Breast Cancer Screening in Lucknow | I D Cancer Centre

Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers in women, but the good news is that early detection through screening can significantly improve cure rates and treatment outcomes.

At I D Cancer Centre, Sushant Golf City, Lucknow, we offer advanced breast cancer screening using state-of-the-art technology to ensure accurate, safe, and timely diagnosis.

What Is Breast Cancer Screening?

Breast cancer screening means checking the breasts for cancer before symptoms appear.

It helps detect even the smallest lumps or early-stage changes that cannot be felt during a self-exam.

In simple words:

Screening finds breast cancer early—when it is easiest to treat and cure.

⭐ Why Breast Cancer Screening Is Important

Early screening can:

✔ Detect cancer before symptoms start

Most early tumours are too small to feel.

✔ Improve cure rates

Early-stage breast cancer has a 95%+ survival rate with proper treatment.

✔ Avoid aggressive treatments

Small cancers often require simpler treatment.

✔ Reduce risk of spread

✔ Provide peace of mind

A normal screening test reassures you about your breast health.

⭐ Who Should Get Screened for Breast Cancer?

Women aged 40 and above

Must undergo annual or biennial screening.

Women with symptoms (any age)
