October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month
Every day in Australia, 58 people are diagnosed with breast cancer — that’s more than 21,000 each year. 1 in 7 women and 1 in 550 men will hear this diagnosis in their lifetime. Early detection saves lives, with survival rates now around 92% when cancer is found early.
🩻 The role of imaging:
✔️ Mammograms find cancers before they can be felt
✔️ Ultrasound helps assess and guide further testing
✔️ MRI is used for high-risk patients and complex cases
At CareScan, we’re committed to accurate, high-quality breast imaging and supporting patients with care and clarity.
💡 If you’re due for a check, or have risk factors, speak to your GP or contact CareScan to discuss your options.
