In recent years, the incidence rate of female “two cancers” has been rising, becoming two major killers threatening women’s health. According to the data, there are 190,000 new cases of breast cancer and 130,000 new cases of cervical cancer in China every year, and the incidence rate is increasing year by year, which poses a serious threat to women’s health and life. Although breast cancer and cervical cancer affect women more, regular breast and cervical examinations allow early detection of suspicious conditions, early diagnosis and early treatment. Early treatment of breast and cervical cancer is very effective!
