Pink October, the importance of early diagnosis - Philippi: Free mammography in

October is known as Breast Cancer Awareness Month, where attention to this disease increases and various campaigns are undertaken to increase awareness and early screening.

Kozeta Filipi, a researcher at the Institute of Public Health, shows how important early diagnosis is.

Filipi says that the campaigns do not stop in October, but throughout the year, in every city in the country that does not have a mammogram, mobile mammograms go and in coordination with the family doctor, all women have access to free screening.

In Albania, during 2024, 815 new cases of breast cancer were registered, 805 of them in women and 10 in men, while 3678 mammograms were performed. However, according to data from the Public Institute, in recent years there has been a slight decrease in the number of mammograms performed.
