Breast cancer is one of the most common diseases worldwide, with a high mortality rate largely due to late diagnosis. That is why, since its opening, Caucasus Medical Center has been actively participating in the state-funded free breast cancer screening program, offering patients the most effective approach to disease prevention.

 

At the hospital, breast screening is available for women aged 40 to 70. As part of the free screening program, the following services are provided:

 

  • Digital mammography using an advanced imaging system
  • Consultation with a breast specialist (mammologist)
  • Ultrasound examination, if necessary
  • Breast biopsy, if indicated

 

The screening program is designed for healthy individuals without symptoms to detect the disease at an early stage and plan effective treatment, ensuring nearly 100% recovery. Studies show that 70% participation in screening programs can reduce breast cancer-related mortality by 30%.

 

The Head of the Screening Center at Caucasus Medical Center is Dr. Ekaterine Shvelidze, an academic doctor of medicine and radiologist.
