Florence, November 30, 2013 – “Every thousand breast screening we do, we can save the lives of nine women,” says Professor Gianni satisfied Amunni, general manager Ispo institute for the prevention of cancer Florence. What comments on news of the day for health Tuscan namely the decision of the governor, Henry Smith, councilor and Louis Brown, broaden the age range of women invited to undergo Tuscany Free mammograms to prevent breast cancer. Today is intended to ladies between 50 and 69 years. Very soon (probably from January 1, 2014) will cover a wider audience: indeed to all women aged between 45 and 75 years. If the percentage declared by Professor Amunni correspond to reality, this choice allows to avoid dangers in dozens of ladies seriously affected by breast cancer.

choice due, of course, the desire to shelter a female universe more and more exposed, but also, apparently, by two reasons. The first, as he wanted to emphasize the president Rossi , the answer is “who spread the word about the intention of Tuscany introduce a ticket on cancer prevention.” The screening is free and invited to undergo mammography will come directly to your home through the mail.
The second reason is organizational: as pointed out also Amunni, spreading his age will prevent hundreds of requests for preventive examinations individual. In fact, one of the longest waiting lists that are found in almost all of Tuscany ASL (it may take a year and a half between the request and the conduct of the examination) affects its mammography. But why from over 45? Still Amunni: “From the scientific point of view, it is seen that did not need. This is not to say that younger women are not at risk, I would just point out that before the age of 45 mammography is not effective. For a sinus problem? Yes, even for this. “
