Starting today, women from the Municipality of A Pobra do Brollón between the ages of 50 and 69 will begin to be invited to participate in the Galician Early Detection of Breast Cancer Program.
Women who have a SERGAS health card will be notified by letter. However, women who do not have health coverage (who do not have a card) or who have private insurance can also request to participate in the program by calling 981 14 14 14.
Mammograms will be performed at the Monforte Hospital. Mammography is the most effective test to detect possible small breast cancer, which allows for a reduction in mortality from the disease and a less aggressive treatment. It is a simple, quick and almost always painless test.
