00:00The Association of Women Surgeons of the Philippines and the College of Surgeons
00:04held a Breast Screening and Lay Forum for the employees of People's Television Network.
00:10This is the celebration of Women's Month.
00:12Some of the activities are nationwide simultaneous breast cancer awareness lectures and free clinics.
00:21This also gives importance to early prevention of breast cancer,
00:25especially in the leading cause of death of women.
00:28This is also the largest number of breast cancer detection every year.
00:32It is recommended that women should do a self-examination
00:36every 20 years after their monthly period.
00:41If they still have abnormalities,
00:45they should go to the doctor for findings and make an appropriate prescription for medication.
00:52While women above 40 years old should get a mammogram once a year.
00:58Do you have symptoms or not?
01:04In the whole Philippines, we would like to encourage everyone to examine their breasts every month
01:11and to consult a doctor if you still have abnormal symptoms in your breasts.
01:19This is important because breast cancer can be treated if we can detect it early.
