Overview

  • Lomas de Zamora is providing free, no-appointment mammograms at three public centers during its October campaign, with a physician order required.
  • Venustiano Carranza held free screenings on Oct. 7 and will offer more on Oct. 14 at the Alberca Venustiano Carranza, with registration due by Oct. 13.
  • The Mexico City initiative is coordinated with the city health department and is open to women and men.
  • A Mexican study published via ASCO using the Mammaprint test found 61% of early-stage patients were low genomic risk and could avoid chemotherapy.
  • Regional guidance and data emphasize prevention, including annual mammograms from age 40 for average-risk women and a disproportionate burden in lower-resource settings.
