Breast Cancer in Malaysia: A Quick Overview at a Glance
Breast cancer remains the most common cancer in Malaysia and across the globe. According to the Malaysia National Cancer Registry Report 2017–2021, 1 in 23 Malaysian women is at risk of developing breast cancer in her lifetime.
Alarmingly, it also reveals that 50.5% of breast cancer cases were diagnosed at late stages (Stage 3 and 4), showing a notable rise compared to the previous reporting period (2012–2016), which began at age 40.
Why Early Detection Matters?
Early detection is the best defence against breast cancer. It not only improves treatment outcomes but also reduces the complexity and cost of treatment. One of the most effective ways to catch breast cancer early is through regular screening.
A mammogram is a low-dose X-ray of the breast that can detect abnormalities before symptoms appear. It is internationally recognised as the gold standard for breast cancer screening.
When Should You Get a Mammogram?
For women in the general population, it is recommended to get a mammogram once every two years, beginning at age 40 and continuing up to 74 years.
As part of our commitment to accessible healthcare, we are pleased to offer digital mammograms at a subsidised rate for women aged 40 and above. Digital mammography provides high-quality imaging with reduced radiation doses. Contact us today to schedule your mammogram with us. Early detection saves lives.
