A new blog post from Fresh Test, LLC, a leading gestational
diabetes screening company, calls attention to the urgent need for
updated breast cancer screening methods in Los Angeles
LOS
ANGELES, May 15, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The
Fresh Test, a trusted name in healthcare innovation, has published
a compelling blog post spotlighting the urgent need for updated
breast cancer screening methods in Los
Angeles. Written by an anonymous Angeleno with over 15 years
of experience in women's healthcare, the post reveals the alarming
disparities and challenges surrounding breast cancer screening in
the city.
Despite advancements in healthcare innovation, Los Angeles lags behind other American cities
in breast cancer screening technology, particularly 3D mammography.
Their blog post highlights the importance of early detection in
improving breast cancer survival rates and calls for a shift
towards utilizing 3D mammograms, which have been proven to detect
cancer 15 months earlier than traditional 2D mammograms. Last
month, USPSTF, even published guidelines for 3D Screening; yet half
of Angelenos have little access with decades old technology.
The author stresses that overlooking the importance of early
detection in the fight against breast cancer is a deadly error.
From there, the author calls for advances in the screening methods
used in Los Angeles to ensure the
health of women who call the city home.
The article estimates half of the imaging centers (e.g., Kaiser,
Providence, County,
HealthCarePartners, Adventist & Dignity, and the list goes on)
in Los Angeles still only provide
2D screening, which is a technology that came out in 1996. This
means the cancer is caught at a much later and deadlier stage.
Sadly, low income communities that aren't fighting for improved
technology are more likely to have 2D versus 3D.
Being that one in eight women will be diagnosed with breast
cancer, the blog post encourages readers to advocate for improved
female healthcare in Los Angeles
and offers resources for women needing 3D mammography services. The
Fresh Test empowers women to take control of their health by
raising awareness and promoting access to advanced screening
technologies.
