個人警覺+鉬靶檢查的重要性---13%的患者確診癌症之前一年內的鉬靶結果是正常的

現代醫學無論如何發達昌明也無法替代個人的警覺（Vigilance）。鉬靶檢查（Mammogram）就是一例。作為相當有效的乳腺癌篩檢手段，通常每年一次的鉬靶檢查對40歲以上中老年婦女很有價值。然而梅奧診所發表於AJS的文獻跟蹤1222名乳腺癌患者長達8年，發現13%的患者確診癌症之前一年內的鉬靶結果是正常的。所以個人警覺（Vigilance）很重要，請別忘了自我檢查加上年度體檢時醫生做的乳房檢查。

After women begin to have mammograms at age 40, it’s important to have them done each year or as regularly as your doctor recommends.

A study of 1,222 women by researchers at Mayo Clinic found that 13 percent of women had a normal mammogram within one year of a breast cancer diagnosis.
