Empowered with Meg Ryan shines a light on the critical importance of early detection in the fight against breast cancer.
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Dec. 17, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Did you know? When breast cancer is detected early, the chance of successful treatment is incredibly high. Greater than 90% of patients diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer are "cured." This means they live long, healthy lives, and the disease doesn't define them.
Empowered with Meg Ryan shines a light on the critical importance of early detection in the fight against breast cancer. This segment will feature Hancock Health, a leader in comprehensive breast care, and their commitment to empowering women with knowledge, advanced technology, and unwavering support throughout their journey.
Hancock Health leverages cutting-edge technology to provide the most accurate and minimally invasive diagnostic tools. Viewers will learn about the latest advancements in mammography, ultrasound, and biopsy techniques.
Dr. Julia Compton. VP Oncology stated, "A breast cancer diagnosis can be frightening. While most patients with early- stage breast cancer will do incredibly well, it's important to have a team of caregivers that understand the impact of treatment on your life. Sometimes the fear of the diagnosis overshadows any other priorities at the time and the treatment takes a greater toll as patients try to juggle treatment, responsibilities at home and at work. As you navigate this chapter of life, don't hesitate to ask about your treatment location --especially if it can be close to home, your care team's approach to your daily priorities, and if there are any other details we may need to consider. While cancer care is certainly the center of attention during this time, it's is not the only priority most women are juggling. It's important for those of us delivering cancer care to keep those priorities in mind as we see and treat our patients with early stage breast cancer."
Early detection is just the first step. Hancock Health understands the emotional toll of a breast cancer diagnosis. The program will showcase their dedicated team of healthcare professionals who provide personalized care and support, helping women navigate every stage of treatment and recovery.
