The Egyptian Drug Authority announced that the great development in the medical devices and supplies used in the diagnosis of breast cancer contributed to raising the accuracy of early detection of the disease, providing greater opportunities for effective therapeutic intervention and reducing complications.
Modern medical devices make breast cancer diagnosis more accurate than ever
The authority explained that the mammogram, whether bilateral or 3D, is the basic tool that is indispensable in early detection of breast cancer, as its accurate images provide the ability to identify small tumors before it develops into advanced stages.
She added that the ultrasound (sonar) comes as a complementary step after the mammogram, as it provides clearer pictures of the breast tissue, and helps doctors distinguish between solid blocks and simple, inappropriate bags.
The authority indicated that the magnetic resonance represents the optimal diagnostic option in high -risk cases, or when there is a need for a comprehensive evaluation of the extent of the spread of the tumor, due to the ultra -precise images it provides that ensures that no important details are not overlooked.
She also emphasized that the guided biopsy remains the final and decisive step to confirm the nature of the tumor, as a precise sample of the breast tissue is taken, which is definitely determined by the type of tumor and the appropriate treatment plan for each case.
The Egyptian Pharmaceutical Authority stressed that these requirements and modern tools represent an essential pillar in efforts to enhance early detection of breast cancer, stressing its keenness to support the health system with advanced diagnostic devices that contribute to improving the results of treatment and raising healing rates.
