Aeon Life expands early detection of breast cancer

Winterthur/Zurich – Aeon Life is expanding its breast cancer diagnostics in Zurich. Magnetic resonance mammography should enable radiation-free and more precise diagnostics.

(CONNECT) Early diagnosis of breast cancer can significantly increase the chances of recovery. Aeon Life, based in Winterthur, aims to provide a reliable diagnosis using a new method compared to the conventional mammography method. According to a press release, magnetic resonance mammography (MR mammography) is both a radiation-free and safer method of diagnosing carcinomas.

In future, women in Zurich will be able to choose between the traditional method and MR mammography screening for the early detection of breast cancer. Women with implants in particular avoid the risk of them being damaged by pressure.

"Our goal is to make early breast cancer detection safer, more convenient and more reliable," said Florian Huber, Chief Medical Officer at Aeon Life, in the press release. "With MR mammography, we offer an examination without radiation exposure, with greater accuracy and without pain." ce/ww
