October is Breast Health Awareness Month, a time when we collectively focus on raising awareness about breast cancer, promoting screening, and sharing valuable information about early detection. At Serenity NP Integrative Health, we are dedicated to empowering women with the knowledge and tools to prioritize their health—starting with early detection.
Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers affecting women, but the good news is that early detection saves lives. By catching breast abnormalities early, we increase the chances of successful treatment and survival. Let’s explore why early detection is critical and how we can help you take proactive steps toward safeguarding your health.
The Importance of Early Detection
When breast cancer is detected at an early stage, treatment is often less invasive, and survival rates improve dramatically. Early detection methodssuch as self-exams, mammograms, and thermography with ultrasound are key in identifying changes in breast tissue long before physical symptoms arise.
Breast Thermography is one of the non-invasive tools we offer at Serenity NP. Unlike traditional imaging methods like mammograms, thermography uses infrared technology to detect changes in breast tissue without radiation or compression. It provides insight into metabolic and vascular activity, making it an excellent option for early-stage screening.
The Statistics Speak Volumes
1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime.
When detected early, the 5-year survival rate for localized breast cancer is 99%.
Routine screenings, including mammograms and thermography with ultrasound, can reduce breast cancer mortality by detecting the disease before it advances.
These statistics highlight how regular screenings and early intervention are essential for long-term health and successful outcomes. If you’ve been delaying your screenings, now is the time to act.
Thermography: A Revolutionary Screening Tool
At Serenity NP, we offer breast thermography, which serves as an adjunct screening tool for those seeking a non-invasive option. Thermography can detect changes in the breast tissue months or even years before a traditional mammogram might pick up on them. For those looking to avoid radiation exposure or seeking additional peace of mind, thermography is a valuable option to incorporate into your routine check-ups.
This Breast Health Awareness Month, we’re making it even easier for you to take action. On October 9th, 2024, we are offering $25 off new breast screenings and $50 off half or full body thermography screenings. It’s an opportunity to invest in your health and gain insights into your breast health status.
Why Routine Screening Is Key
While self-breast exams are essential, they should not be the only method of monitoring your breast health. Women aged 40 and above should have annual mammograms as recommended by the American Cancer Society, while younger women or those seeking a radiation-free alternative can benefit from thermography with ultrasound.
For women at high risk of breast cancer—such as those with a family history or genetic predisposition—screening might begin even earlier. Our team at Serenity NP can provide personalized recommendations based on your health profile.
