First Lady Bibi Asifa Bhutto Zardari urges women for early breast cancer detection
First Lady Bibi Asifa Bhutto Zardari in Islamabad on Thursday urged women to prioritize early detection of breast cancer during Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Call for regular self checks
She advised women to examine their bodies regularly to recognize unusual changes. Familiarity with normal physical states helps individuals identify when medical consultation is necessary. The First Lady emphasized that knowing one's body is a critical part of health maintenance.
Screening advice for older women
Bibi Asifa Bhutto Zardari specifically recommended that women over the age of fifty consider regular mammograms. She noted that screening facilities offering these services are available for those who need them. This guidance targets a demographic where early detection remains vital for successful outcomes.
High rate of self detection
The First Lady highlighted that more than ninety percent of cases are found by women themselves. She stated this statistic applies to those who do not undergo routine mammography screening. Consequently, she argued that awareness of personal body changes is particularly important for this group.
