Breast Cancer Prevention And Treatment Project


Why Early Diagnosis
  • Every year about 55,000 women come down with breast cancer in Germany alone
  • For 19,000 patients, breast cancer is the sentence of death
  • Every 8th to 10th woman is affected
  • This means, that every 9 minutes a woman falls ill with breast cancer and every 28 minutes a woman dies of breast cancer in Germany
  • 80% of breast cancer is discovered by women on their own

Why Self Examination is so important
  • Nowadays, the majority of breast cancers is curable upon early diagnosis
  • Modifications are perceived much earlier than by physicians, as preventive medical checkups most often are only once per year
    Self examination is NOT about palpating a lump, but becoming familiar with one´s own breast and differentiating between normal and modified structures

Why Self Examination with MammaCare® Method
  • MammaCare® is the only systematic breast self examination method worldwide scientifically developed, verified, and recognized.
