乳癌普查
Population-based Breast Cancer Screening
過去20年本港乳癌個案上升接近3倍、即每12名女性中便有1人罹患乳癌。
乳癌篩檢對患乳癌風險較高的婦女可能有幫助。風險因素包括：
- 帶有某些基因（例如：BRCA1 或 BRCA2）突變；
- 有家族乳癌或卵巢癌病史；或
- 有個人的風險因素（例如：在30歲前胸部曾接受放射治療或曾患乳癌）
如你有患乳癌的較高風險因素，應諮詢醫生意見，以了解清楚應否接受乳癌篩檢，應在幾多歲開始做及每次篩檢的相隔時間。
In the past 20 years, the number of breast cancer cases in HK has nearly tripled. That is, 1 in 12 women suffers from breast cancer.
Breast cancer screening is helpful for women with a higher risk of breast cancer.
Women at high risk are recommended to seek advice from doctors and have mammography screening every year :
- carriers of gene mutation linked to breast cancer e.g. BRCA1/2 deleterious mutations;
- strong family history of breast or ovarian cancer (e.g. any first-degree female relative is a confirmed carrier of BRCA1/2 deleterious mutations, any first- or second-degree female relative with both breast and ovarian cancer, etc.);
- history of radiation therapy to chest for treatment between the age of 10 and 30
- previous history of invasive or in situ breast cancer; invasive lobular carcinoma; atypical ductal hyperplasia or atypical lobular hyperplasia.
