Prevention and Early detection goes a long way in fighting breast cancer

11/10/2026

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

This month, Sir Ketumile Masire Teaching Hospital joins the global conversation to encourage greater awareness of breast cancer, the importance of recognising changes in your breasts and seeking appropriate medical attention.

Breast cancer can affect women and men.

This month, let's focus on three simple actions:

KNOW — know your breasts and understand the signs.
CHECK — don't ignore unusual or persistent changes.
ACT — seek appropriate medical advice when something concerns you.

Because every breast cancer journey is different.
Every story is unique. Every journey matters.

Know your breasts. Recognise changes. Seek appropriate medical assessment. Follow through with care.

What you need to know

# Helicobacter pylori infection is usually asymptomatic.

# H pylori is commonly transmitted within families by oral-oral or faecal-oral routes.

# Gastric mucosal precancerous lesions associated with H pylori typically occur in adults, but it can sometimes occur in infected children and adolescents.

# Non-invasive tests, such as urea breath tests and stool antigen tests, are the most common investigations to detect H pylori.

# International guidelines recommend offering treatment to all infected individuals; a family based treatment approach has recently been introduced.

Helicobacter pylori is a Gram negative bacterium that causes upper gastrointestinal disease and symptoms.

This clinical update present recent guidelines and evidence on H pylori prevalence, transmission, detection, and management in primary care

People with an abnormal breast lump should seek medical care, even if the lump does not hurt.

Most breast lumps are not cancer.

Breast lumps that are cancerous are more likely to be successfully treated when they are small and have not spread to nearby lymph nodes.

People living with cancer have the right to know their diagnosis.

Health providers should communicate cancer diagnoses directly, clearly and with empathy. This should be done regardless of the patient’s age, social status or stage of disease.

Respectful communication, privacy and involving patients in decisions about their treatment are essential parts of quality cancer care.

When you see “Sydney protocol” on your report…

Five biopsies, five sites.

The Sydney system for evaluating gastritis: two from the antrum, one from the angulus, and two from the middle body (lesser and greater curve). Each site mapped, not just "gastric biopsies x5".

Do you send them separated by site or pooled? It changes what the pathologist can tell you.
