Minsan:
โŒ Walang bukol
โŒ Walang pananakit
โŒ Walang pagbabago sa balat
โŒ Walang nararamdamang kakaiba

โœ… Kaya mahalaga ang SCREENING. Dahil ang goal nito ay makita ang cancer habang maliit pa at mas maagap na magamot bago pa ito magdulot ng sintomas.

๐Ÿ”˜ Mas mataas ang tsansa na ma-detect ang cancer sa mas maagang stage
๐Ÿ”˜ Mas maliit pa ang tumor sa maraming kaso
๐Ÿ”˜ Mas mataas ang posibilidad na gumaling
๐Ÿ”˜ Mas mababa ang risk na kumalat ang cancer
๐Ÿ”˜ Nakakatulong mapababa ang breast cancer deaths sa tamang screening population

โš ๏ธ Hindi sa lahat ng pagkakataon.

Ang breast ultrasound ay mahalagang test, pero kadalasan ginagamit ito bilang additional o dagdag lamang sa mammogram (hindi pamalit).

Mayroon ding mga early breast cancer at microcalcifications na mas nakikita sa mammogram kaysa ultrasound.

Mas maganda ang ultrasound para:
๐Ÿ”˜ Tignan kung cyst o solid ang bukol
๐Ÿ”˜ Mag-evaluate ng specific area of concern
๐Ÿ”˜ Makatulong sa dense breasts kasama ng mammogram
๐Ÿ”˜ Younger women

โœ… Pero sa maraming babae na eligible for screening, mammogram pa rin ang pangunahing screening test.

๐Ÿ‘‰ Average risk women:
๐Ÿ”˜ Mammogram starting age 40 (some guidelines: 40โ€“45)
๐Ÿ”˜ Every 1โ€“2 years depende sa risk at usapan sa doktor

โš ๏ธ Mas maagang screening kung:
๐Ÿ”˜ Malakas ang family history ng breast/ovarian/pancreatic/prostate cancer
๐Ÿ”˜ May kamag-anak na diagnosed ng breast cancer na bata pa (50 years old or younger)
๐Ÿ”˜ May BRCA mutation sa pamilya

Ang PET/CT scan ay isang espesyal na imaging test na pinagsasama ang:

๐Ÿ”˜ PET (Positron Emission Tomography) โ†’ tinitingnan kung gaano ka-active ang cells (metabolic activity)
๐Ÿ”˜ CT โ†’ nagbibigay ng detalyadong larawan ng katawan

Sa madaling salita:
๐Ÿ‘‰ Hindi lang nito ipinapakita kung nasaan ang bukol.
๐Ÿ‘‰ Ipinapakita rin nito kung gaano ka-active ang cancer.

๐ŸŸ  ๐๐š๐ซ๐š ๐ฌ๐š๐š๐ง ๐ข๐ญ๐จ?

Maaaring gamitin ang PET/CT para:
๐Ÿ”˜ Malaman ang totoong lawak (extent/stage) ng cancer
๐Ÿ”˜ Makita kung may pagkalat (metastasis) sa ibang parte ng katawan
๐Ÿ”˜ Malaman kung gumagana ang chemotherapy o ibang treatment
๐Ÿ”˜ Matignan kung may natitirang active cancer pagkatapos ng gamutan
๐Ÿ”˜ Makatulong maghanap ng pinagmumulan ng cancer (cancer of unknown primary)

โš ๏ธ Hindi po lahat.

Depende ito sa:
๐Ÿ”˜ Uri ng cancer
๐Ÿ”˜ Stage
๐Ÿ”˜ Kung makakaapekto ito sa treatment plan

Kaya hindi dahil โ€œmas advancedโ€ ay automatic na kailangan agad.

Honored to receive a signed copy of Dagiti Pundador from its brilliant author โ€” one of my dear patients, now going 5 years in remission at age 85! Seeing a patient not only overcome cancer but also create an award-winning work recognized at the 40th National Book Awards is truly inspiring. Grateful for stories of healing, resilience, and triumph beyond medicine. Thank you, Mr. Prescillano Nisperos Bermudez! ๐Ÿค
