Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women and early detection plays an important role in improving treatment outcomes and long-term health.

Whether you are attending routine screening, have concerns about your breast health or seeking preventive care, our team is committed to providing personalised and professional assessment and recommendations tailored to your individual needs.
Why Breast Screening Matters
Understanding how to detect breast cancer early can make a life-changing difference.
Regular breast cancer screening may help to:
- Detect abnormalities early, even before symptoms appear
- Identify small breast lumps or breast tissue changes
- Improve treatment success through early intervention
- Monitor breast health over time
- Provide reassurance and peace of mind
Who Should Consider Breast Screening
Breast screening may be beneficial for women who:
- Are aged 40 years and above
- Have a family history of breast or ovarian cancer
- Have risk factors for breast cancer
- Personal history of breast or ovarian cancer
- Dense breast tissue
- Previous high-risk breast lesions
- Have a known inherited genetic mutation (e.g. BRCA1, BRCA2)
- Would like personalised breast cancer risk assessment and screening recommendations
- Wish to take a proactive approach to maintaining breast health
Important: Routine breast screening is recommended for women with no breast symptoms. If you have a new breast lump, nipple discharge, skin changes, or any persistent breast symptoms, please consult a breast surgeon promptly for a diagnostic assessment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Women aged 40 and above are generally encouraged to undergo regular mammogram screening. Women below 40 may benefit from breast ultrasound depending on symptoms and individual risk factors.
Breast ultrasound uses sound waves and is commonly used for younger women with denser breast tissue. Mammograms use low-dose X-rays and are typically recommended for women above 40.
Some women may experience temporary discomfort during a mammogram, but the procedure is generally well tolerated and completed quickly.
Most breast screening appointments take approximately 30 to 60 minutes.
Screening frequency depends on age, personal risk factors, and medical history. Our doctors can advise on an appropriate screening schedule for you.
