The Illinois Department of Mammographic unit at NIMC can reduce cancer risk £ Breast cancer is the number one cancer killer of American women. In the United States one out of 11 women will get cancer 'ot the breast during her ^lifetime; every 15 minutes, three women develop breast •;cancer, and one woman dies of the disease. . Hayim Rodrik, MD, Northern • Illinois Medical Center's chief , radiologist and chairman of the Medical Imaging Department, said, "The new medical center now has a state-of-the-art mammographic unit which can ! detect a cancer so small it ; cannot be felt by the most ex­ perienced examiner. The • malignancy can be as small as a i freckle and still be detected by lour mammogram machine. *Bteast cancer eart be diagnosed ; radiologically in its earliest 'State, which results in a high J cure rate." NIMC follows the guidelines ; established by the American ; Cancer Society's National Task • Force on Breast Cancer Control, which states that mam­ mography in trained hands is a valuable tool in the detection and diagnosis of breast cancer. The appropriate use of mammography in conjunction with clinical examination and breast self-examination offers the promise of significantly increasing the cure rate of breast cancer. With equipment such as the mammography unit at NIMC, it is now possible to perform a thorough, high- q u a l i t y m a m m o g r a p h i c examination delivering the lowest dosage of radiation consistent with producing an optimal diagnostic image. Commenting on the new equipment, located in the Medical Imaging Department on the first floor of the new medical center, Doctor Rodrik said, "We are more than pleased to offer the women in our patient service areas such advanced diagnostic technology. There is evidence that screening with mammography can detect very small localized cancers in women, which in turn suggest the possibility of better survival rates. Therefore, the potential life-saving benefit through early detection by mammography is considerable." In a number of clinical studies of women covering several age groups, mammography alone as the screening procedure was responsible for higher per­ centages of positive findings of early breast cancers compared to procedures done without mammography. Many of the cancers would have gone un­ detected until reaching a more advanced and more difficult treatment stage had mam­ mography not been used in the earliest diagnosis. Ron Esposito, director, An­ cillary Services, said, "Ad­ vancing age is the most im­ portant risk factor. Most breast cancers occur in women over the age of 50.

ONLY A VACATION TO REMEMBER {CARIBBEAN CRUISE I 7 j DAYS there is definitive proof that screening for breast cancer lowered the death rate by 30 percent, and that mam­ mography and physical examination of the breast ac­ counted for the reduction. It is essential that examinations using both procedures become a routine part of an annual physical examination of women over the age of 50 whenever feasible."
