Internal Medicine Specialist and Hematology-Medical Oncology Consultant Dr. Andhika Rahman, Sp.PD-KHOM said that breast self-examination (Sadari), USG examination, mammography are methods that can increase the chance of curing breast cancer by up to 80 percent.
"Indeed, research agrees, showing that in fact, BSE plus USG examination, plus mammography examination can increase by approximately 80 percent," said the doctor who practices at Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital when met in Jakarta, Tuesday.
He said that breasts are dynamic organs that are related to hormones, so one examination could result in a negative cancer result, but through a compilation with other types of examinations, the results of the examination could be confirmed.
