Ultrasound and mammography - when, where and for how much
Ladies aged 50-69, due to the highest incidence of breast cancer in this period, can have a mammogram every 2 years free of charge under the program of early detection of this disease (screening tests). People with a genetic burden of breast or ovarian cancer, confirmed by the marker, are subjected to non-standard tests at the Cancer Prevention Center of the Oncology Center in Warsaw.
When choosing a survey privately, ask your friends for a specialist who has a good reputation. It is best to be examined where the gynecologist will refer you. They usually have a good understanding and know who is wrong more often and who less often.
Check if the doctor has a current certificate of the Polish Ultrasound Society. Usually, doctors place their diplomas and certificates in a visible place in their offices.
Mammography is performed by a specialist radiologist. It is a good idea to take your previous ultrasound and mammography results with you when you go for an examination. This will allow the doctor to compare the images of the breasts. Approximate prices for the examination (ultrasound or mammography) are at the level of PLN 100-200.
