Mobile Breast Screening Units
Mobile Breast Cancer Clinic, also known as Breast Screening Mobile Unit or Mobile Mammogram Unit is a mobile healthcare unit by America's leading manufacturer of Mobile Health Clinics, Odulair LLC, specifically designed to deliver breast cancer screening tests to women communities in both urban and rural settings. Odulair is the only American manufacturer of a Mobile Breast Cancer
Screening Unit and Mobile Mammography Unit to build mammography units in
four platforms: Mobile Breast Cancer Clinic, Transportable Breast Cancer Unit, Modular Relocatable Breast Cancer Unit, and Modular Permanent Breast Cancer Clinic.
Mobile Breast Cancer Screening is a typical routine test for women between the ages of 47 to 73 years and performed in a Mobile Breast Cancer Clinic or Breast Screening mobile Unit. A breast screening test, also called mammography or a mammogram, is on average performed every three years in the attempt to detect the earliest symptoms of breast cancer. A mammography is a sophisticated X-ray picture of a woman's breasts and the typical length of a breast screening appointment usually takes about 30 minutes.
Breast cancer is extremely common among women, with 1 in 9 expected to develop breast cancer at some point in their lives. It most commonly affects women over the age of 50 years. Breast screening aims to detect breast cancer at an early stage, before visible symptoms or signs such as a lump develop. If breast cancer is found early, it is more likely for a patient to be able to have breast-conserving surgery and more likely to have a complete recovery and be 100% free of breast cancer.
Research studies show that breast screening significantly reduces the number of deaths from breast cancer. The International Agency for Research on Cancer has shown that there is a 35% reduction in the chance of death due to breast cancer in women who are screened regularly with mammography tests. Statistics from the longest-running breast cancer screening study ever conducted over 31 years in two communities in Sweden, shows a large reduction in breast cancer deaths in women who had breast screening compared with those who had not been screened. It is thought that 1 in 8 women diagnosed with breast cancer through mammography and breast cancer screening programmes would have been missed.
Mobile mammography units have become the best solution for community outreach both in America and abroad, with numerous successful mobile breast cancer screening programs operational in the UK, Australia, and New Zealand, among others.
