He will be in the parking lot of the Gaston Fèbus health center, 18 rue Gaston de Foix from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. and from 1 p.m. to 5:30 p.m., on January 24. Breast cancer, the leading cause of cancer mortality among women in France, can be better treated thanks to early detection. This radiology practice installed on board a semi-trailer allows women aged 50 to 74 to carry out breast cancer screening near their homes. The mammotest detects possible unusual or abnormal images in women who do not feel sick. “This device is a necessity for our rural areas. With its regular visits, it allows many women to take an essential step for their health,” underlines Christophe Avenard, deputy mayor in charge of Social Action and Solidarity. From 9 a.m. to 12 p.m., professionals from the Gaston Fèbus multi-professional health center will offer a prevention stand “let’s find cancer in time”.
