Doctors' General Clinic has a fully equipped and well-staffed breast clinic in Athens, with scientists who are up to date on the latest international developments in breast cancer. According to reliable international statistics, every year 1.38 million new cases of breast cancer are detected and 458,000 deaths occur. In Greece, 5,000 women a year are discovered to have breast cancer. At the same time, it is known that the survival rates of patients have doubled in recent years if the disease is detected early. That is why it is recommended that all women over the age of 20 should have their breasts palpated once a month. But the best way to detect a lump early is to have regular mammograms.
