“Last week I had my first mammography. It was a high quality digital mammography according to latest standards, followed by an ultrasound performed with a high resolution device by a specialized radiologist. No findings at all, as expected. The purpose of this examination was to serve as a reference for future ones! It is advised that women after 35 – and certainly before 40 years of age – have a reference digital mammography. This way we know exactly how our own breasts look like when healthy, so that any deviation is easily noticed and as soon as possible!” writes A. P.
Since we have been blogging here for a while it would only be fair to explain the context in which this blog post subscribes. In other words we should try and give a general idea of our communication philosophy and modus operandi.
We mentioned in a previous post how the DESIREE project sees itself as being ambitious and multidisciplinary. Well, this is not just words and the best way to prove it is by showcasing the full spectrum of our objectives.
Breast cancer is the most common and most deadly type of cancer affecting woman in the EU countries, with more than 460,000 new cases and 130,000 deaths in 2012 (EUCAN2).
This is the official blog spot of the DESIREE project, an ambitious collective effort to make a difference from an innovation standpoint for a great cause.
On this blog we will be sharing experiences and views relevant to our work from different and variant perspectives and will be anticipating your comments and respective opinions.
