Puerto Vallarta, Mexico – October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a global campaign aimed at increasing awareness and encouraging proactive measures for early detection. While many know of breast cancer, fewer take the necessary steps for early detection, which can save lives.
Breast cancer remains a significant health concern worldwide, with over 360,000 individuals expected to be diagnosed in 2024 alone. However, early detection is crucial to improving survival rates. When caught in its early stages, the 5-year relative survival rate for breast cancer can be as high as 99%.
Early detection is crucial and often begins with regular mammograms. Women aged 40 and over who have no known breast cancer risk factors and are not experiencing any signs or symptoms of breast cancer should receive a screening mammogram once a year.
Mammograms are one of the most effective tools for finding breast cancer in women without symptoms. The American Cancer Society emphasizes that early detection through mammograms significantly improves the chance of survival.
On October 18, Vallarta Gay Clinic will offer mammograms for only $700 pesos. Appointments will be available every 20 minutes from 9 am to 5 pm, but space is limited to just 30 spots. To schedule, call 322-108-2559.
The Vallarta Gay Clinic’s campaign aims to empower individuals to take proactive steps towards their health. Mammograms are a vital tool in early detection, allowing for the identification of potential cancerous growths before they spread. By offering mammograms at affordable rates and in a welcoming environment, the Vallarta Gay Clinic is making a significant contribution to the health and well-being of the local community.
