Early detection of breast cancer Iwona Chruścicka in promotional actions

Since 2015. I am an independent oncologic surgeon performing a full range of oncoplasty and breast plastic surgery procedures.

During my long professional career, I have attended numerous training and scientific conferences and courses to improve my surgical techniques.

From 2007 to 2010, as a coordinator, I implemented a pilot of a population-based early detection program for breast cancer in the Pomeranian region for the Ministry of Health.

As part of the popularization of the program, I have performed countless promotional acts for various communities in the Pomeranian Voivodeship.

I worked for many years in the Population-based Breast Cancer Early Detection Program, which, on behalf of the Ministry of Health, continues to promote the performance of preventive examinations, including mammography. The purpose of preventive screening is to diagnose breast cancer quickly.

The program applies to women aged 45-74 who can have diagnostic tests-mammography-without a referral. The prophylactic program allows patients, based on their pesel number, to have a mammogram once every two years - in those without a burden, and once a year - in patients with a genetic burden in the family. Tests can be performed at one of the many mammography laboratories in the Pomeranian region.

You are invited to a consultation for qualification for breast cancer treatment.
