Breast Screening

Early detection of breast cancer before subjective symptoms appear leads to early treatment. Regular checkups are recommended not only for those who feel discomfort in their breasts, but also for those who have never had a breast cancer checkup, or who have relatives with breast cancer, even if they do not have any symptoms.

Screening schedule: From 12:00, Monday to Saturday
(Excluding public holidays. Results will be explained by a doctor at a later date)

Mammography + tumor marker test

Tumor markers are substances such as proteins that are uniquely produced by each cancer. Since the presence or location of cancer cannot be confirmed by tumor markers alone, the doctor makes a comprehensive diagnosis together with imaging examinations. A blood sample is taken for the tumor marker test.

Mammography + tomosynthesis test

In 3D mammography, X-rays are continuously irradiated in one shot, and multiple tomographic images sliced finely in the depth direction (three-dimensionally) are obtained. This imaging method is said to have a higher cancer detection rate than regular mammography. An annual check-up is recommended for those who wish.

Breast MRI test

MRI breast test is performed by attaching a dedicated accessory device to the MRI scanning table. Unlike X-ray mammography, it is less painful because it does not compress the breast like X-ray mammography.

Breast MRI test + tumor marker test

This course includes the Breast MRI test and tumor marker test listed above.

Breast MRI test + DWIBS

DWIBS (diffusion-weighted whole-body imaging with background body signal suppression) is a whole-body cancer screening that uses MRI to look for cancer and metastases over large areas of the body. DWIBS is a test made possible by the high performance of MRI. Cancer risk can be determined by taking images of the neck, chest, abdomen, and pelvis in a single examination. The total test duration is approximately 60 minutes.
