Researchers witnessed lower levels of creatine phosphokinase (CPK), an indicator of muscle injury, in the blood. Red and white blood cell count, serum electrolytes, creatinine, C-reactive protein, creatine phosphokinase and troponin-T were normal, lactate-dehydrogenase was 335 U/L (normal: <248) and INR was 2.
The benefits of breast screening. The main benefit of breast screening for women who undergo regular mammography is that breast cancer can usually be detected early. Early detection is important because there is strong evidence to show that earlier breast cancer detection leads to improved rates of survival 1.acmillan Cancer state that 70% of women whose breast cancer is detected early through screening can have breast conserving surgery, compared to only 55% whose cancer is detected outside a screening programme. The evidence for the benefits of breast screening is clear.
Screening mammograms are one of the best ways to diagnose breast cancer early, when it's most treatable. A large study confirmed the benefits of regular mammograms. This study also emphasized that there is no upper age limit for mammograms. More than 12,000 women age 80 or older participated in this study. Of the women diagnosed with breast cancer, those who had regular mammograms (at least three mammograms in the 5 years before being diagnosed) were more likely to be diagnosed with early-stage disease.
