Breast cancer screening continues to be one of the most effective tools for detecting the disease before symptoms appear and increasing the possibilities of treatment. In an interview, Marta Pojo, Director-General of the Portuguese League Against Cancer, alerted to the importance of not postponing screening exams.
Marta Pojo highlighted that delaying the exam does not change whether or not the disease exists, it can only delay its detection. This delay in diagnosis can have significant consequences for patients' prognosis.
The Portuguese League Against Cancer remains one of the entities involved in raising awareness about the importance of regular breast cancer screening in Portugal, promoting early detection as a way to improve survival rates.
