Breast Clinic & Thyroid Clinic
What are Breast and Thyroid Diseases?
According to recent statistics from the National Health Insurance Service,
breast and thyroid cancers rank first and second among female cancers in incidence.
Fortunately, when detected early, more than 90–95% of female cancers can be cured.
This highlights the critical importance of early detection.
Symptoms of Female Cancers
Female cancers often have almost no early symptoms, making early detection essential.
