Breast health includes a year-

breast self examination (BSE). :

For several : ‘years,: Canadian
Cancer’ Society volunteers have
encouraged women to examine
_ their breasts regularly in order
to detect as carly as possible any
changes .in tissue, If a lump,
thickening: or any change was
discovered — anything out of
the usual — women: were urged
to see their doctor immediately.

‘But scréening mammography
ig the best methad of-detecting
cancers too small. to be felt.

simple x-ray technique to. pro-
duce the sharpest image of the
inner structure of the breast,

be confidently predicted,

the province announced a grant
to establish a pilot project for
breast screening centre in the
Lower Mainland, under: the
supervision of the CCABC, and
with the support of the BCMA,
UBC, the BC Radiological
Society, and the Canadian

Cancer Society.

‘The pilot has proved hugely

successful. At one point,

Statistics showed that of 5,900
women screened, 21 were found
to have breast cancer. The value
