Mammography stands as the gold standard for early detection of cancer – before the cancer has spread and often before the tumour can be felt. It is a low-dose X-ray examination of the breasts to look for abnormal changes, such as microcalcification, as small as <1mm. Also used to detect lumps, pains, or potential symptoms of breast disease or cancer.
But here’s the crucial point: Mammograms aren’t just for those with symptoms. They’re also a important screening tool for early cancer detection in women without any signs of the disease. In Malaysia, it’s recommended for women aged 40–74 to get screened every two years.
We’re proud to offer state-of-the-art mammography services featuring our cutting-edge digital mammography system. With options for additional digital tomosynthesis, we create unparalleled 2D and 3D images of your breasts, eliminating tissue overlap and enhancing mass contrast for superior diagnostic accuracy.
But here’s what sets us apart: Our system utilizes advanced Tungsten technology to drastically reduce radiation doses, ensuring safe and precise examinations, even for those with dense breasts. We prioritize your safety and comfort by customizing examinations based on your unique breast density and thickness.
When it comes to breast health, precision is paramount. That’s why we offer free Breast Ultrasound examinations to complement your mammogram results. Our advanced ultrasound technology helps discern whether anomalies detected by mammograms or physical breast exams are cysts filled with fluid or solid tumors.
While breast ultrasound isn’t typically used for cancer screening due to its potential to miss early signs, it serves as a valuable diagnostic tool in conjunction with other screening methods. At Beacon Hospital, we leave no stone unturned in ensuring your breast health is comprehensively assessed.
*Note: The free breast ultrasound is applicable only if the mammogram result shows an anomaly needing further examination.
Typically, a mammogram screening in Malaysian private hospitals costs between RM299 and RM400. But at Beacon Hospital, we’re on a mission to promote breast cancer awareness and make screenings accessible to all women aged 40 and above.
That’s why we’re offering a subsidized rate that’s too good to pass up: just RM150 for your mammogram, plus a *free breast ultrasound.
Regular breast screening is your first line of defence against breast cancer. If you detect any new breast lump or notice any other breast changes, don’t hesitate—seek evaluation from a seasoned physician skilled in diagnosing breast diseases.
Beacon Hospital is one the leading oncology centre, especially in breast cancer scan and treatment, in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor. To provide holistic healthcare services, we set up a dedicated Breast Care Clinic. From diagnosis to treatment and after-care, we work with our patients every step of the way, providing support and guidance for women and men.
Treatment options for breast cancer are usually discussed with a breast surgeon or an oncologist (cancer specialist). Breast cancer can be treated in a few ways. It depends on the type of breast cancer and how far it has spread. Individuals with breast cancer often get more than one type of treatment. Among the treatments for breast cancer are:
a newly discovered and more effective treatment for early-stage breast cancer by shortening the course of radiotherapy which normally takes 3 weeks to 1 week.
is often combined with breast surgery, to enhance treatment. It uses high doses of radiation to kill cancer cells. Radiotherapy can reduce the risk of local recurrence.
is a treatment option that involves the use of chemo medication. Such as Alkylating agents, Topoisomerase inhibitors, Antitumor antibiotics, Antimetabolites, Mitotic inhibitors, and Corticosteroids
A surgery in which only the part of the breast containing the cancer is removed
medication for breast cancer works by attaching itself to proteins such as HER2 protein.
is used to slow down or stop the growth of hormone-sensitive tumours in the breast.
