Breast Cancer Awareness Month may have come and gone but the disease will continue to claim lives if women are not pro-active about taking steps for early detection. Breast cancer is something EVERY woman should be concerned about because it is the number one type of cancer in the Philippines. According to the 2010 Philippine Cancer Facts and Estimates, the incidence rate has steadily risen since 1980 and affects women as early as 30 years old.

| Health Cube's 3D Tomo Mammo machine |
Available at Health Cube is the latest in breast screening with its 3D Tomosynthesis Mammogram. This test produces a three-dimensional view of the breast that helps identify and characterize individual structures without confusion of overlapping tissue. This new technology enables the doctor to see thin mammography sections of the entire breast and gives a clearer image thus, decreasing the need for further examinations.

A 3D mammography test is better at detecting changes earlier than regular 2D scans. It can help distinguish superimposed tissue from real abnormalities, leading to less anxiety for women whenever they are due for a breast exam.
