Breast cancer screening aims to detect asymptomatic women at risk for breast cancer early to improve outcomes, with procedures like mammography and ultrasound. While screening reduces the risk of death and may prevent the need for chemotherapy, it can lead to anxiety and the risk of overdiagnosis. Various diagnostic methods exist, including self-examination and advanced imaging techniques, provided by dedicated diagnostic centers.
