March 20th is the Serbian National day against breast cancer, with an average of 4,100 women get sick each year, while 1,600 die. We appeal to all women to take their health seriously, perform self-examinations and go on a preventive medical controls and review mammograms, because this disease can be defeated if it is discovered in time!
It is remarkable that women take care of their health and regularly carry out breast self-examination. This perimeter also applies to young females, as well as pregnant women and new mothers. It is necessary for women to observe their breasts, pay attention to the appearance, shape and size of the breast, change in it, skin color, nipple appearance, occurrence of drowsiness or similar changes. It is necessary that a woman, if she sees any change, goes to the doctor.
We invite all women between the ages of 50 and 69 to respond to screening mammography within an organized or opportune screening of breast cancer.
