Look after your health – have a mammogram

On 16 September, we invite you to the mobile mammography unit in front of our shopping centre

Prevention matters. Regular mammograms can detect changes that cannot be spotted during self-examination of the breasts. Early detection of abnormalities increases the chances of starting effective treatment quickly. That is why, on 16 September, we invite you to free mammograms in front of the Auchan Katowice Shopping Centre.

A special mammography van will be available from 9.00 am to 3.00 pm. Screening times may be subject to change depending on the number of people booked in.

To book a screening, please register in advance by telephone on 22 33 81 960 or 58 666 24 44. You can also register via the online form: https://www.luxmed.pl/dla-pacjenta/uslugi/diagnostyka/formularz-nfz-mammografia or via the Online Patient Account (IKP) and the mojeIKP app.  

Reception staff will check your eligibility for the screening via the National Health Fund’s Preventive Care Monitoring IT System, so it is advisable to have your identity card ready before the call, as this will be required to confirm your eligibility.

Under the Breast Cancer Prevention Programme funded by the National Health Fund (NFZ), women aged between 45 and 74 are eligible for a free mammogram:

• every 24 months – if they have not previously been diagnosed with a malignant tumour in the breast,
• every 12 months – if they have completed treatment for breast cancer and the 5-year post-treatment monitoring period
• every 12 months – if, five years after surgical treatment for breast cancer, they are still undergoing adjuvant hormone therapy (HT)

Women covered by the ‘Care for families at high, hereditary risk of breast or ovarian cancer’ programme or the ‘Comprehensive oncological care for patients with breast cancer’ programme are excluded from this scheme.

Please bring images or CDs from previous mammograms to your appointment if these were not carried out at a LUX MED centre.

Further information on mammograms, the Breast Cancer Prevention Programme and diagnostic imaging examinations can be found at www.luxmed.pl.

Don’t put off preventive care. Look after yourself and take advantage of this opportunity to have the scan! The scans are free of charge.
