The group of almost a hundred women, from middle-aged to the elderly, gathered on Kossuth Square on Monday afternoon on the occasion of World Breast Cancer Day, and then behind the sign Együtt lögjer started their awareness-raising walk in the direction of Kurca, crossing the Esperanto Bridge and turning back on the stone bridge. Those who thought so could tie their balloons to the railing of the traffic bridge, reminding us of those who can no longer be with us. The chosen password is no accident: Katalin Pölös was in the lead, who herself was affected 37 years ago, then recovered, aged At the suggestion of the chief physician, Mihály Kispál, he founded a club for his peers. The son of the former doctor is now the head of the club.
If only a few ladies who have come here or who have heard from the media take what is being discussed here seriously, then we have surely done a lot to detect a malignant tumor in time
– emphasized oncologist Mihály Kispál, who was also in the procession.
If we compare ourselves to countries such as the Nordic countries, where screening was introduced decades ago, 90 percent of those called up appear, while here it was 40-45 percent a few years ago, and now – as a result of such programs – there is a slow increase , but we haven’t even reached 60 percent yet
he emphasized.

Szentes also has something to contribute in this field, said the chief doctor, about half of those summoned usually show up. A change has just started in the local professional examination.
The so-called breast committee examined the ladies on Monday afternoons, this is no longer the case, but we have remained in the position that anyone who has any breast problem should report to the oncology clinic. There is no time limit, but you should know that there is a lot of patient traffic, so if we kept the 2 hours on Monday afternoon, it wouldn’t hurt, but we can really examine it at any time, and if a mammogram or other special examination is needed, we can ask for it there
explained Mihály Kispál.

The health development office is organizing a mammography screening day on October 18, which is open to women between the ages of 45 and 60, but on the occasion of the bridge walk, prosthetists showed how to perform the self-examination correctly.
