Gyeonggi Medical Center Paju Hospital Offers Breast Cancer Screening for Women Through Blood Test

Gyeonggi Provincial Medical Center Paju Hospital will conduct a 'Breast Cancer Screening Project' for women aged 20 and older in the province until December 5, 2025.

Paju Hospital announced on September 25 that it plans to offer a screening that allows women to easily check their risk of breast cancer through a blood test (Mastocheck test). Unlike conventional imaging-based screenings, this method involves less physical exposure, which is expected to increase participation, especially among younger women.

If any abnormalities are detected in the first Mastocheck test, Paju Hospital will also provide a second breast ultrasound screening free of charge.

Participants only need to pay a personal fee of 3,000 won to receive the screening. However, the program may end early if the budget is exhausted.

Chu Wonoh, Director of Paju Hospital, stated, "The earlier breast cancer is detected, the greater the effectiveness of treatment and the higher the survival rate. This blood test is simple and accessible, so it will provide practical help to many women."
