Fujifilm organises seminar on breast awareness

Fujifilm Corporation recently organised a seminar to spread awareness about breast cancer in India. Dr. SK Ramani, MD, Additional Professor & Assistant Radiologist, Department of Radio Diagnosis, Tata Memorial Hospital, Mumbai chaired the seminar.
Kenichi Tanaka, Managing Director, Fujifilm India and Miyuki Iizuka, Mammography Specialist from Fujifilm Tokyo, also participated in the event.
Dr. Ramani highlighted the significance of mammography in his presentation and focused on the merits of digital mammography for detecting breast cancer at an early stage.
Studies say that one in 60 rural women and one in 30 urban women will develop breast cancer in her lifetime. It is the second most common cancer after cancer cervix.
According to Dr. SS Doda, former President of the Indian Radiological and Imaging Association (IRIA), “With the change in scenario in our lifestyles and the increase in urbanisation, there may soon be a need for widespread mammography screening programme in our country so as to save our women from breast cancer by early detection and cure.”
