Detecting <strong>breast cancer<\/strong> at an early stage significantly increases the chances of recovery. Under the cancer prevention program, free mammography tests are available every <strong>two years<\/strong> to eligible women.<\/p>\n<p>Starting from <strong>January 1, 2024<\/strong>, women who have previously been diagnosed with breast cancer will have the opportunity to rejoin the program annually. Eligibility for re-entry includes women who have:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Completed their <strong>treatment<\/strong> and a <strong>5-year monitoring period<\/strong>, or<\/li>\n<li>Are undergoing <strong>adjuvant hormone therapy<\/strong> five years after surgical treatment for breast cancer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Additionally, the program includes <strong>cytological tests<\/strong> to prevent and detect cervical cancer. These tests will be conducted under the following conditions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Every 3 years<\/strong> for women without risk factors, and<\/li>\n<li><strong>Annually<\/strong> for women with elevated risk, including those who are:\n<ul>\n<li>Infected with <strong>HIV<\/strong>,<\/li>\n<li>Taking <strong>immunosuppressive drugs<\/strong>, or<\/li>\n<li>Infected with high-risk <strong>HPV<\/strong> strains.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It is important to note that <strong>early-stage cervical cancer<\/strong> is curable in over <strong>99% of cases<\/strong>.
