Innovative 3D mammography equipment will enable doctors us to spot breast cancer at an earlier stage, which makes cancer treatment more effective for patients. Medical charity Cobalt supports patients and the NHS by helping to purchase equipment not ordinarily available within the NHS budgets.

Situation

About one in eight women are diagnosed with breast cancer during their lifetime*. We want to make breast cancer diagnosis and treatment more accurate and effective at an earlier stage using the latest technology. When diagnosed at its earliest stage, women with breast cancer will survive their disease for 5 years or more, compared with 3 in 20 women when the disease is diagnosed at the latest stage*. Please help us to provide patients with the best possible care. *Office for National Statistics

Solution

We would like to raise funds for a 3D Mammography System. This is a state of the art screening and diagnostic breast imaging tool designed to improve the early detection of breast cancer. Mammogram pictures are normally 2 dimensional but the new system will provide 3D pictures, more like a hologram, of the whole of the breast. This will enable doctors to identify breast cancer at an earlier stage, which can make treatment more effective. It will also reduce the number of unnecessary procedures.
