Secondary Prevention and Early Detection
What you need to know
Secondary prevention refers to techniques used to detect breast cancer even at its earliest stages. This includes imaging methods such as mammography screening as well as breast awareness. Europa Donna Cyprus advocates for all Cypriot women to have access to nationwide population-based mammography screening programs conducted to accordance with the European Guidelines on Breast Cancer Screening and Diagnosis developed by the European Commission Initiative on Breast Cancer (ECIBC), which are updated regularly based on the latest scientific evidence. Women between the ages of 45 and 74 will receive an invitation for mammography screening every 2 years. The European guidelines recommended screening in all women aged 45 to 74 years. In case an invitation is not received, women can contact the Mammography Screening Centers to arrange an appointment (details provided below).
