Associate Professor Benita Tan, Chairman, Division of Surgery, SKH, shared, at the Bosom Buddies Project roadshow organised by the Breast Cancer Foundation, that up to 11% of people who undergo a mammogram in Singapore discover they have stage 4 breast cancer. This implies that many only go for breast examinations after apparent symptoms such as pain. She highlighted the importance of doing screenings as early detection not only enables early intervention and more effective treatment, but it also reduces the pain experienced during treatment.
