乳腺癌是发生在乳房的一种癌症。它始于乳房中细胞的异常生长，进而形成肿瘤，在大多数情况下摸起来呈肿块形状¹。

像大多数癌症一样，若能及早发现与诊断乳腺癌，患者将有更高的存活率⁴.

以下这些因素可能会增加您罹患乳腺癌的风险：

不同人可能会表现出不同的乳腺癌症状，而一些人甚至可能不会表现出任何体征或症状。您可以通过定期的乳房自我检查，以便留意以下这些危险信号：

如果您发现任何这些体征或症状，请与您的医生详谈。

定期筛查十分重要，它可以帮助我们及早发现乳腺癌，特别是对没有疾病体征和症状的人士来说。以下是不同的筛查方法：

• 临床乳房检查
• 乳房X光检查。使用低剂量的X光来产生乳房的影像.

《马来西亚乳腺癌临床实践指南》建议符合以下条件的妇女进行乳房X光检查*¹¹:

• 年龄介于50至74岁的妇女，每两年进行一次
• 对于没有已知基因变异的高风险妇女，可以考虑从30至39岁开始进行乳房X光检查，年龄介于40至59岁的妇女建议每年进行一次检查，而60岁以上的妇女则建议每两年进行一次检查。
• 对于具有遗传基因的携带者，应从30至49岁开始每年进行一次磁共振成像检查，从40至69岁开始每年进行一次乳房X光检查，而从70岁开始则可以每两年进行一次乳房X光检查。

*欲了解有关乳房X光检查的详情，请与您的医生详谈。

若疑似患有乳腺癌，可以通过以下方式进行诊断：

请记住，及早诊断是我们对抗癌症的关键。
