免費乳房X光揪出零期乳癌 早期發現5年存活率逾99%

Quick Look

東元綜合醫院乳房醫學中心引進高階超音波影像掃描儀,可提升乳癌早期發現率。文章以兩位患者對比說明:林女士因公費篩檢發現零期乳癌,僅需局部切除及放射線治療即康復;張女士因延遲就醫而演變為局部晚期乳癌,需接受前置化療、全乳切除等痛苦治療。醫師指出台灣女性乳癌好發年齡比歐美年輕約10歲,早期發現5年存活率超過99%,晚期則降至約40%。政府自2025年起將乳癌篩檢補助對象擴大至40至74歲女性,每兩年免費一次乳房X光攝影,並提醒出現異常應立即就醫。

Why It Matters

衛福部統計顯示,2023年台灣約有1.7萬名女性罹患乳癌,平均每天約有8.1人因此失去生命,且好發年齡比歐美年輕約10歲。政府自2025年起擴大乳癌篩檢補助對象至40至74歲女性,每兩年免費一次乳房X光攝影。

〔記者廖雪茹/新竹報導〕「定期篩檢救了我一命!」48歲的林女士平時無家族病史,日前透過公費補助接受乳房X光攝影,雖無任何不適,報告卻顯示異常,經醫師安排超音波與精準粗針切片後,確診為「第零期乳癌」(原位癌);由於發現極早,癌細胞尚未侵犯周圍組織,林女士僅接受小範圍局部切除及術後放射線治療即順利康復,免去化療之苦,目前只需定期追蹤,生活完全不受影響。

然而,並非所有人都能如此幸運。55歲張女士1年多前就摸到右乳有微小硬塊,卻因害怕面對而一再拖延,直到腫瘤顯著變大、皮膚出現凹陷與潰瘍異味,才在家人強勸下就醫。經診斷為惡性腫瘤且轉移至腋下淋巴結,已演變成局部晚期乳癌。後續她必須歷經漫長痛苦的前置化療、全乳切除、腋下淋巴結廓清與術後化療,心理壓力極大,存活率也大打折扣,令醫護感到無比惋惜。

請繼續往下閱讀...

東元綜合醫院一般外科主治醫師李世煒指出,衛福部統計,2023年台灣約有1.7萬名女性罹患乳癌,平均每天約有8.1人因此失去生命,且好發年齡比歐美年輕約10歲。不過,早期乳癌若能及時發現處置,5年存活率高達99%以上;若拖到晚期才就醫,5年存活率將大幅驟降至約40%。

為提升早期發現率,政府已自2025年起擴大篩檢補助,將對象放寬至40歲至74歲女性,每兩年可享一次免費乳房X光攝影。李世煒強調,約七至八成患者並無家族病史,乳房攝影能清晰辨識微小鈣化點,是國際實證最能降低死亡率的工具。針對乳腺緻密的亞洲女性,或攝影異常者,也可搭配高階超音波補充掃描,大幅提升精準度。

李醫師提醒,若發現乳房無痛硬塊、乳頭異常分泌或凹陷、皮膚潰瘍與橘皮變化,無論年齡都應立即就醫。若篩檢報告出現異常,切勿因恐懼逃避或自行上網嚇自己,應儘速至一般外科門診尋求專業諮詢,及早把握黃金治療期,為自己與家人的幸福把關。

Study: British ear electrical stimulation device may help patients with hypertension lower blood pressure

A British research team tested a small device that stimulates the nervous system through the ears and found that the device may help lower blood pressure in patients with severe hypertension that is not well controlled by medication, but it was not significantly better than a placebo in the overall group. Researchers believe that this technology is safe and has potential for promotion, but requires further verification in larger-scale trials.
