Hardly any examination evokes such mixed emotions. One thing is certain: the earlier breast cancer is detected, the better the chances of recovery – and the gentler the treatment can be. Thanks to modern technology, mammography is more precise than ever and can now detect even the smallest changes in breast tissue.

In this episode, Dr. Constanze Elfgen talks with Dr. Carmen Danecker, specialist radiologist in breast imaging, and Cecilia Manni, radiologic technologist. Together, they provide expert insights, address common concerns, and clearly explain why early detection can save lives.
