Up to 15,000 local females will join the one million in three other cities nationwide later this month to receive a free breast cancer screening, today's Shanghai Morning Post reported.
As well, Fudan University's Cancer Hospital is considering setting up the nation's first breast cancer outpatient service for people highly at-risk for this disease, the report said.
Those with a family history of breast cancer are considered highly prone to developing breast cancers, doctors have said, because breast cancer is hereditary.  Females are five to seven times more likely to develop cancer if their sisters or mothers have had cancer.  The age of onset is around 45 for Chinese, compared with 55 for Westerners.
Talking about the special breast outpatient service, Professor Shen Zhengzhou, director of the Breast Cancer Research Center of the Cancer Hospital, said it is aimed at sidentifying cancer patients and giving them immediate medical treatment and helping to combat the disease.
Besides heredity factors, breast cancer is also about lifestyle, Professor Shao Zhimin pointed out.
She advised people to live a healthy life with more exercises and less junk food to reduce the liklihood of developing cancer.
