Females over age of 40 years should include sono mammography in their routine health check up. For those who do not have a positive family history or other risk factors with previous normal mammography report, it can be done every 2yrly. For those with positive family history or having history of lump/ cancerous lump of one breast should do it every yearly. It helps to pick up lesions well in advance and females can be cured of the problem permanently with regular follow up thereafter. Self breast examination should be practiced by all females of any age. Report to general surgeon or oncosurgeon preferably if you notice any lump on either side or in axilla, at the earliest. Ca breast is the most common cancer in females worldwide. But if picked up early, they can continue to live normal life and enjoy.
