Every year, thousands of women across the world are diagnosed with breast cancer, many of them too late. Yet, what if just 10 minutes of your time could change that story? At Aster MIMS Calicut, we believe prevention isn’t just a choice; it’s a life-saving habit.
Why Early Detection Matters
Breast cancer, when detected early, is one of the most treatable cancers. A simple mammogram or clinical breast examination can identify changes in breast tissue long before symptoms appear.
A mammogram is a low-dose X-ray of the breast that helps detect even the smallest abnormalities, sometimes years before they can be felt. It’s a quick, safe, and highly effective screening tool that allows doctors to begin treatment early, increasing survival rates and improving quality of life.
Regular screening helps detect cancer in its earliest stages, often even before a lump can be felt. That means fewer complications, simpler treatments, and more hopeful outcomes.
The 10-Minute Commitment
A routine breast health check-up takes less than 10 minutes. It’s a small investment of time for something priceless, your life.
At Aster MIMS Calicut, our expert radiologists and women’s health specialists ensure that every screening is done with advanced digital mammography technology, compassion, and complete privacy, making your experience comfortable and reassuring.
Who Should Get Screened?
- Women aged 40 and above – Annual or biennial mammogram.
- Younger women with family history – Doctor-advised earlier screening.
- Anyone noticing changes – Lumps, pain, or nipple discharge shouldn’t be ignored.
If you fall into any of these groups, now is the right time to book your screening.
Aster MIMS Calicut’s Commitment
This Pink October, we’re reaffirming our mission to make breast cancer awareness more than a campaign, to make it a community movement. Through preventive screening camps, educational sessions, and women’s health initiatives, Aster MIMS Calicut continues to empower women with the knowledge and care they deserve.
Because sometimes, all it takes to save a life is 10 minutes of courage and care.
