Infinity Regenerative Clinic Medical Director Specialist Dr. Yıldıray Tanrıver shared very valuable information about breast cancer, which can be treated with early diagnosis and correct methods. Emphasizing that Breast Cancer Awareness and Education Month is particularly valuable in this regard, Tanrıver spoke about the importance of health screenings.

October is designated annually as Breast Cancer Awareness and Education Month to emphasize the importance of early diagnosis of breast cancer and raise awareness on this issue. Specialist Dr. Yıldıray Tanrıver, highlighting the great importance of early diagnosis in breast cancer, stated: "Whenever a suspicious mass is found in breast tissue, one should immediately consult a doctor without delay." He noted that the chance of treatment is greatly increased with a diagnosis made in the early stages.

Providing information about disease symptoms, Specialist Dr. Yıldıray Tanrıver explained: "Breast cancer is a disease caused by a tumor that results from cells in breast tissue undergoing changes and multiplying uncontrollably. It is the most common type of cancer in women. Though rare, it can also occur in men. It manifests itself with swelling or a mass in the breast tissue or underarm."

"Don't Say It Won't Happen to Me." Become Aware!
Stating that one woman is diagnosed with breast cancer every 180 seconds worldwide, Specialist Dr. Yıldıray Tanrıver said: "Everyone now knows how important early diagnosis is. However, unfortunately, this knowledge often cannot prevail against the assumption of 'it won't happen to me.'"

Is Early Diagnosis Really Early?
Saying "it is a known fact that early diagnosis in cancer can save lives, but is early diagnosis really early? Is it early enough?" Tanrıver spoke about the importance of preventive and protective medicine applications. Tanrıver stated: "A diagnosis indicates that a disease has been contracted. However, through preventive and protective medicine applications, diseases can be prevented before they develop in the body, and treatment protocols can be shaped accordingly."

TTK (Tests, Screening, and Consultation)
Specialist Dr. Yıldıray Tanrıver explained: "TTK, or Tests, Screening, and Consultation, is a screening system in which the entire body is scanned with advanced technological devices, equipment, and genetic tests, creating a personalized health map. It is a screening system through which existing or potentially future diseases can be detected. This screening method, far more comprehensive than classical check-up applications, is recommended even for individuals who believe they have no health issues." He added: "With artificial intelligence and 3D imaging systems, all tissues, organs, cells, and systems are individually evaluated. The test results are evaluated through consultations conducted by a council of specialist physicians, and the most appropriate treatment program for the individual is determined. In this way, individuals at risk of developing diseases can also be identified and precautions can be taken accordingly."
