Early detection is the most effective way to save lives — and this October, KAUST Health is encouraging eligible community members to book their breast cancer screening.
Did you know?
- Early-stage breast cancer has survival rates of over 90% (5 years) and 85% (10 years).
- Mortality has decreased by 40% in recent decades thanks to screening and awareness.
- Early cancers often show no symptoms, making screening vital.
- A mammogram is safe: it exposes you to less radiation than a month of watching television.
Eligibility
- Women aged 40+ who have not had a screening in the past 1–2 years.
- Women aged 30+ with a family history (mother/sibling) who have not had a screening in the past year.
