The ASL 3 of Nuoro adheres to "Pink October 2024", the month of prevention for breast cancer, with the tried and tested campaign "You are the priority!" which is part of the initiatives to raise awareness on the importance of prevention for the most frequent neoplasia among women .

In the ASL of Nuoro, the free screening program is active all year round, aimed at women between the ages of 50 and 69. It offers a personalized diagnostic program that begins with a mammogram: from July, a sophisticated, latest-generation device will be available at the Cesare Zonchello Hospital, which allows for even more accurate images . Each mammogram will then be evaluated independently by two expert radiologists.

Early detection of a tumor can make a difference and save lives because therapeutic interventions can be less aggressive and more effective . For this reason, it is important to have regular check-ups and join the screening program. All women in the age group between 50 and 69 who have received the invitation letter from the Screening Center can have a mammogram for free, without a prescription from their doctor, while those who have not received one can contact the Screening Center to join.
