Breast cancer is the second most cancer that strikes women after cervical cancer in Indonesia . Until now the exact cause is unknown , so we need early detection of cancer stage , which is stage zero by using mammography .
Patients with breast cancer patients is increasing every year . Based on data from the International Agencies for Research on Cancer ( IARC ) in 2005 , new cases in Indonesia is about 26 per 100,000 women per year , and mostly in a state of advanced stage .
Early detection is needed to find the zero -stage cancer patients on a low stage ( down staging) , so the percentage is likely to be cured high .
Mammography is a modality for early detection or screening for breast cancer using X-ray equipment is able to demonstrate abnormalities in the breast in the form of the smallest to less than 5 mm (stage zero ) .
