Physician Jorge Tartaglione discussed early breast-cancer detection on LN+ after Carolina Trippar shared her diagnosis. Argentina’s National Cancer Institute recommends screening for women aged 50 to 69 and advises discussing individual risk with a doctor.
Tartaglione referred to influencer Carolina Trippar, who said she had been diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer. She said it took months, medical tests and therapy before she felt ready to share the diagnosis publicly.
The doctor described mammography as a test that can identify small changes before they can be detected by touch. He urged women not to delay consultations or screening and said those with a family history should discuss a monitoring plan with a gynecologist.
Tartaglione advocated annual mammograms starting at 40 and suggested that women with close relatives who had breast cancer begin screening 10 years before the age at which the relative was diagnosed. This is his recommendation, not a universal national guideline.
Argentina’s National Cancer Institute says women at average risk aged 50 to 69 should have a mammogram every one to two years. Women under 50 with a family history of breast cancer are advised to consult a doctor who can assess their individual risk. Screening age and frequency should be decided with a medical professional.
Tartaglione also mentioned smoking, obesity and high blood pressure as possible risk factors. He stressed the value of early detection and said during the broadcast that nine out of 10 cases can be cured.
