CANSA Womens Health 2016
Being informed
is half the battle won…
Women should keep
themselves informed so that
they can recognise early
warning signs and know
how to reduce their risk.
*SA Statistics as per National Cancer Registry (NCR) 2011
Breast and Cervical cancers are the two
most common cancers affecting South
African women
Warning signs of Breast Cancer
• Early breast cancer usually doesn't show symptoms, but as
the tumour grows, it can change how the breast looks or feels
Typical changes include:
• A puckering of the skin of the breast
• A lump in the breast or armpit
• A change in the skin around the nipple or nipple discharge
• Dimpling of the nipple or nipple retraction
• An unusual increase in the size of one breast
• One breast unusually lower than the other. Nipples at different levels
• An enlargement of the glands
• An unusual swelling in the armpit

See the Signs of Breast Cancer
Cervical Cancer - What is HPV?
• Human Papillomaviruses (HPVs) is a group of more than
100 related viruses
• About 40 types are sexually transmitted through genital
contact while 2 types (16 + 18) are considered high risk in
South Africa and are responsible for cervical cancer
• HPVs are transmitted via skin-to-skin contact and body fluids
• Some HPVs, such as those that cause common warts that grow
on hands and feet, do not spread easily
High risk HPV is estimated to cause...
• 70% of cervical and anal cancers
• 50% of vaginal, vulvar and penile cancers
• 20% of head and neck cancers
Risk Factors for Ovarian Cancer
• The more children a woman has and the earlier in life she gives birth,
the lower her risk for ovarian cancer
• Women with a personal history of breast cancer or a family history
of breast or ovarian cancer
• Women who take oestrogen replacement (not with progesterone) for +5 years
• Birth control pills decrease the risk of ovarian cancer
• Being infertile or having fertility treatment
• Using a coil (intra-uterine device (IUD)
• Older women are at highest risk for developing ovarian cancer
• The risk of ovarian cancer is slightly higher for women who:
– have medical conditions such as endometriosis
– smoke tobacco products
– are obese
– are tall
Risk Factors for Uterine Cancer
• Diabetes
• Oestrogen replacement therapy without the use of
progesterone
• History of endometrial polyps
• Infertility (inability to become pregnant)
• Infrequent periods
• Tamoxifen, a drug for breast cancer treatment
• Never being pregnant
• Obesity
• Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS)
• Starting menstruation at an early age (before age 12)
• Starting menopause after age 50

Knowledge
is like Paint,
it only serves
a Purpose once Applied
Regular Screening is key
Screenings available to women:
• Do monthly breast self-examinations
(http://www.cansa.org.za/steps-how-to-do-a-breast-self-examination-bse/)
• Go for regular Pap smears (a screening test for early diagnosis
of cervical cancer)
• Go for regular screening (clinical breast examinations) available at
30 CANSA Care Centres countrywide
(http://www.cansa.org.za/cansa-care-centres-contact-details/)
• Symptom-free women should go for a mammogram every year
from age 40
• SureTouch - non-invasive device for safe breast screening (not a
diagnostic tool) - available at some CANSA Care Centres
• CANSA also has various Mobile Health Clinics which offer screening to
people in communities who do not have easy access to health screening
(http://www.cansa.org.za/cansa-mobile-health-clinics/)
Cancer screening
is available at
CANSA’s Mobile
Health Clinics,
Care Centres and Clinics
country-wide
All participating members of the Radiological
Society of SA (RSSA) and the Breast Imaging
Society of SA (BISSA) are offering a 10 % or more
discount on mammograms and breast MRI, not
paid for by medical aid schemes, during the
month of Oct and first half of Nov 2016
See list of participating members on
http://www.cansa.org.za/files/2016/09/RSSA-
Participating-Radiological-Practices-2016.pdf
or contact the RSSA on 011 794 4395,
e-mail radsoc@iafrica.com or
visit www.rssa.co.za.
What is CANSA
doing to help?
• CANSA has Mobile Health Clinics that
travel to remote areas throughout
South Africa to reach people who would
otherwise not have access to screening
• These include breast examinations, Pap
smear screening tests for cervical
cancer, as well as other health tests
such as cholesterol
• CANSA is playing an active part in the
process of influencing and amending
the South African Patent law, that will
result in more affordable medication for
cancer patients.

Just remember...
Find out from your
health practitioner
or CANSA Care
Centre or Clinic
what you can do to
reduce your risk
Be physically
active, don’t
be overweight
and limit your
red meat and
alcohol intake
You can reduce your
risk for breast cancer
by adopting a
balanced lifestyle
and avoiding
environmental
carcinogens
(cancer causing
substances)
It is possible
to develop
cancer
without any
risk factors
being present

CANSA Womens Health 2016

  • 2. Being informed is half the battle won… Women should keep themselves informed so that they can recognise early warning signs and know how to reduce their risk.
  • 3. *SA Statistics as per National Cancer Registry (NCR) 2011 Breast and Cervical cancers are the two most common cancers affecting South African women
  • 4. Warning signs of Breast Cancer • Early breast cancer usually doesn't show symptoms, but as the tumour grows, it can change how the breast looks or feels Typical changes include: • A puckering of the skin of the breast • A lump in the breast or armpit • A change in the skin around the nipple or nipple discharge • Dimpling of the nipple or nipple retraction • An unusual increase in the size of one breast • One breast unusually lower than the other. Nipples at different levels • An enlargement of the glands • An unusual swelling in the armpit Find out more at: http://www.cansa.org.za/breast-cancer-warning-signs-myths-facts/
  • 5. See the Signs of Breast Cancer
  • 6. Cervical Cancer - What is HPV? • Human Papillomaviruses (HPVs) is a group of more than 100 related viruses • About 40 types are sexually transmitted through genital contact while 2 types (16 + 18) are considered high risk in South Africa and are responsible for cervical cancer • HPVs are transmitted via skin-to-skin contact and body fluids • Some HPVs, such as those that cause common warts that grow on hands and feet, do not spread easily High risk HPV is estimated to cause... • 70% of cervical and anal cancers • 50% of vaginal, vulvar and penile cancers • 20% of head and neck cancers
  • 7. Risk Factors for Ovarian Cancer • The more children a woman has and the earlier in life she gives birth, the lower her risk for ovarian cancer • Women with a personal history of breast cancer or a family history of breast or ovarian cancer • Women who take oestrogen replacement (not with progesterone) for +5 years • Birth control pills decrease the risk of ovarian cancer • Being infertile or having fertility treatment • Using a coil (intra-uterine device (IUD) • Older women are at highest risk for developing ovarian cancer • The risk of ovarian cancer is slightly higher for women who: – have medical conditions such as endometriosis – smoke tobacco products – are obese – are tall
  • 8. Risk Factors for Uterine Cancer • Diabetes • Oestrogen replacement therapy without the use of progesterone • History of endometrial polyps • Infertility (inability to become pregnant) • Infrequent periods • Tamoxifen, a drug for breast cancer treatment • Never being pregnant • Obesity • Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) • Starting menstruation at an early age (before age 12) • Starting menopause after age 50
  • 11. Knowledge is like Paint, it only serves a Purpose once Applied Regular Screening is key
  • 12. Screenings available to women: • Do monthly breast self-examinations (http://www.cansa.org.za/steps-how-to-do-a-breast-self-examination-bse/) • Go for regular Pap smears (a screening test for early diagnosis of cervical cancer) • Go for regular screening (clinical breast examinations) available at 30 CANSA Care Centres countrywide (http://www.cansa.org.za/cansa-care-centres-contact-details/) • Symptom-free women should go for a mammogram every year from age 40 • SureTouch - non-invasive device for safe breast screening (not a diagnostic tool) - available at some CANSA Care Centres • CANSA also has various Mobile Health Clinics which offer screening to people in communities who do not have easy access to health screening (http://www.cansa.org.za/cansa-mobile-health-clinics/)
  • 13. Cancer screening is available at CANSA’s Mobile Health Clinics, Care Centres and Clinics country-wide All participating members of the Radiological Society of SA (RSSA) and the Breast Imaging Society of SA (BISSA) are offering a 10 % or more discount on mammograms and breast MRI, not paid for by medical aid schemes, during the month of Oct and first half of Nov 2016 See list of participating members on http://www.cansa.org.za/files/2016/09/RSSA- Participating-Radiological-Practices-2016.pdf or contact the RSSA on 011 794 4395, e-mail radsoc@iafrica.com or visit www.rssa.co.za.
  • 14. What is CANSA doing to help? • CANSA has Mobile Health Clinics that travel to remote areas throughout South Africa to reach people who would otherwise not have access to screening • These include breast examinations, Pap smear screening tests for cervical cancer, as well as other health tests such as cholesterol • CANSA is playing an active part in the process of influencing and amending the South African Patent law, that will result in more affordable medication for cancer patients.
  • 18. Just remember... Find out from your health practitioner or CANSA Care Centre or Clinic what you can do to reduce your risk Be physically active, don’t be overweight and limit your red meat and alcohol intake You can reduce your risk for breast cancer by adopting a balanced lifestyle and avoiding environmental carcinogens (cancer causing substances) It is possible to develop cancer without any risk factors being present
