Pink October: Raising awareness to better protect Women’s Health

Breast cancer remains the most common cancer among women, affecting more than 61,000 women in France every year. Fortunately, when detected early, the five-year survival rate exceeds 90% (Santé publique France). Prevention is therefore crucial: taking proactive steps, getting screened, and adopting the right habits can literally save lives. As a key player in gynecological imaging, Delmont imaging is committed to making prevention accessible, practical, and reassuring.

Focus 1: Taking action early means protecting your health

Prevention does not start at age 50: this is a common misconception that needs to be challenged. Current recommendations encourage regular medical follow-up from the age of 25–30, particularly for women with a personal or family history of risk factors. Taking action early enables earlier detection and better care.

Simple steps can be taken today: schedule regular screening appointments, even in the absence of symptoms, and raise awareness among those around you about the importance of prevention. Local initiatives such as La Ciotadenne Rose demonstrate that every action counts. Taking part in these events helps raise awareness, encourage discussion, and reinforce the message that early detection saves lives.

Focus 2: Healthcare professionals and technology, trusted partners

Doctors, gynecologists, midwives, and nurses play a key role in communicating with and supporting patients. To strengthen their efforts, Delmont imaging develops precise, ergonomic, and comfortable imaging equipment, enabling examinations that are faster, more reliable, and less invasive.

These technological innovations help build trust and make the prevention journey smoother and more efficient, benefiting both patients and healthcare professionals.

Breast cancer prevention is a collective responsibility: every examination, every action, and every conversation matters. By adopting the right habits and attending regular screening appointments, you can help save lives.

Prevention is the first step towards care: take action and get screened today.
