00:00October 1 is known as Breast Cancer Awareness Month

00:04and the aim of this celebration is to convey the message

00:07that no one should face breast cancer alone.

00:10And because of that, here in CENIDOC,

00:13we will be joined by Dr. Ryo Magpantay from the Department of Health

00:17to talk about this disease.

00:19Dr. Ryo.

00:20Good morning, RSP members.

00:32I am Dr. Ryo Magpantay from the Department of Health.

00:37Today, we will find out what CENIDOC and experts say

00:43when it comes to various discussions on breast cancer.

00:46According to the World Health Organization,

00:49breast cancer is the most common type of cancer in the world

00:55with 2.3 million new cases per year.

01:01Because of this, every month of October,

01:04various organizations and individuals from different parts of the world

01:12come together to raise awareness,

01:15show their support,

01:17and carry out various projects to give hope

01:22and help people affected by breast cancer.

01:28And as part of this Breast Cancer Awareness Month,

01:32we will be joined to talk about this disease

01:36by our excellent doctor.

01:40Good morning, Dr. Kelly Salvador.

01:43How are you?

01:44Good morning, Dr. Magpantay.

01:46I'm okay. Thank you very much for the invitation.

01:49For now, Dr. Kelly,

01:52what is the state of cancer in our country, the Philippines?

01:56Okay.

01:57Before, doctor, we know that our cancer was not in the top five many years ago.

02:04But maybe because of lifestyle diseases,

02:07and this is a thrust of our Department of Health,

02:11cancer in our country is almost number two or number three.

02:16And breast cancer is already number one in women

02:20in terms of mortality and even morbidity.

02:24That's already number one.

02:26Yes, it's number one.

02:27What is the best way to avoid this?

02:31They say that when women have an examination of themselves,

02:39it is easier to detect.

02:42What is the procedure for this?

02:44How is the self-breast examination done?

02:47That's right.

02:48Our Department of Health and our Philippine Cancer Society

02:52have directives or guidelines on our website

02:58on why a patient has breast cancer.

03:02As you said, proper screening is one of them.

03:07So, all women, starting from teenagers,

03:16once they have their menstruation already,

03:20they can start to do their breast self-examination.

03:24One week after their menstruation, which is day seven,

03:28when the breast is the softest,

03:31they should do their breast self-examination.

03:35Can I demonstrate?

03:36Yes, sure.

03:37For example, I'm lying down.

03:39It's better if the breast is slanted.

03:41For example, I'll start on the right side of my breast.

03:45I'll put a pillow so that it's slanted.

03:47And this is spread apart.

03:49And between the two fingers, you go lightly like a clock.

03:55It starts at 12 o'clock.

03:57It starts at 1 o'clock, 2 o'clock,

03:59just lightly so that we can see if there's a tumor.

04:02And if we have doubts, just go a little bit deeper

04:06so that we can know if this is a tumor or not.

04:09Usually, doctor, the tumor that is potentially malignant

04:14is the one that is hard, not painful,

04:17and not moving when we spread it.

04:21And after this, look at the nipple.

04:26Look to see if it's bleeding or not.

04:29And then after, look at the armpits to see if there's a tumor.

04:34Normally, we don't have a tumor.

04:36But if there's an infection or a tumor in a patient's breast,

04:41the tumor becomes clear.

04:43Okay. Aside from the tumor,

04:45is there anything else that a person with breast cancer feels?

04:49Another good question, doctor.

04:51Because usually, in the breast,

04:54if the nipple is allowed, it's not written,

04:58and if it's younger and it goes to other parts of the body,

05:03like the bones in the back,

05:05that will cause low back pain.

05:07We need to be careful.

05:09Those low back pains that are not common,

05:12can be a signal that the cancer has already traveled

05:16to the bones of a patient.

05:19Now, doctor, you know that the information you're giving

05:25can be helpful to our countrymen.

05:28But what should we do to reduce the risk of having breast cancer?

05:33Okay. The secret is, besides our breast cancer screening,

05:38we should have more insights

05:44on how to improve our body's defense.

05:48So, I will start with our nutrition.

05:52Reduce eating red meat and animal fats.

05:56Eat more fruits and vegetables.

05:59Exercise for 30 to 45 minutes every day

06:05to maintain an ideal body weight.

06:08We should have enough sleep.

06:12Ideally, 6 to 8 hours a day.

06:16If we sleep too much, it's bad for our body.

06:20By doing so, our body's defense will be ideal.

06:26We should always maintain an ideal body weight

06:29because obesity is also an indirect factor

06:33that can cause cancer.

06:35But I have one more question

06:38that I hope we can clarify.

06:41What is the benefit of regular screening?

06:44In our country, as of 2022,

06:47our statistics from the Department of Health,

06:49our Philippine Cancer Society,

06:51is we are seeing about 32,000 to 33,000 new cases a year.

06:55But one-third, 11,000, are dying.

06:59Why?

07:00Because when it comes to our doctors,

07:03it's already late.

07:04Stage 3, if not stage 4.

07:07Now, to answer your question, doctor,

07:11if it's still early, stage 1, stage 2,

07:14or even stage 0,

07:17if it's not regular screening,

07:19we can get them at that early stage.

07:21Early stage, 5-year survival is more than 90%.

07:24And now, because of our cooperation

07:27with our Department of Health, our PhilHealth,

07:29we have benefits for our breast cancer patients.

07:33As you know, our East Avenue,

07:36our UPPGH, and Cardinal Santos Medical Hospital

07:39has already approved for our countrymen,

07:42as long as we are Filipinos,

07:44our Universal Healthcare,

07:461.4 million pesos,

07:48the whole package for breast cancer care.

07:50Wow, that's a big help for our countrymen.

07:53Doctor, thank you very much

07:55for joining us this morning, Dr. Kelly.

07:58This Breast Cancer Awareness Month,

08:01we are united in our programs and activities.

08:06We can volunteer

08:08to help in fundraising events,

08:10because if we are united,

08:12we have a better chance against breast cancer.

08:17Again, I am Dr. Rion Magpantay,

08:19your partner in crime.

08:21See you next week, RSP.
