1) The Philippines has one of the highest rates of breast cancer in Asia, with around 10,000 new cases reported annually and a 40% mortality rate, making it a leading cause of illness and death among Filipino women.
2) A new non-invasive machine called the Biofield Diagnostic System (BDS) has been introduced in the Philippines that can detect breast cancer in 15 minutes for 800-1500 pesos, making it far cheaper than other screening methods like mammograms.
3) The BDS uses small sensors attached to the breasts rather than radiation, and can detect cancers that mammograms miss, even in younger women. It produces a color-coded image that a specialist reads to determine cancer

"The greatest risk of getting breast cancer tomorrow is being born today in a developing country. The greatest risk of not surviving breast cancer today is being a woman in the Philippines." Rosa Francia-Meneses, 1999 World Conference on Breast Cancer, Ottawa. The Philippine Breast Cancer Network says that among countries in Asia, the Philippines has the highest rate of incidence of breast cancer. According to World Health Organization (WHO), three out of one hundred women in the Philippines are possible to have breast cancer because of the fact that they have high level of female hormones called estrogen in the blood and these hormones serve as fuel to spur the growth of breast cells into cancer cells or tumor in a womans breast. By this time, most people have heard the grim statistic of the catastrophic disease, breast cancer. According to the Philippine Cancer Facts and Statistics, at least 10,000 breast cancer incidents are being reported annually in our country with about 40% mortality rate and thus considered as the top site of malignancy affecting predominately women and also brought the number one cause of morbidity among Filipino women. Women who are exposed to estrogen for a longer lifetime, those who started menstruation at a very young age, before 12 years old and lasted after the age of 50 are prone to suffer from breast cancer. In addition to, those women who had their first pregnancy after the age of 35; those who have utilized contraceptive chemicals such as birth control pills are highly risk for the disease. Though there have been machines and screening procedures available in order to detect and prevent breast cancers, Filipinas still dont try or utilize these for the reason that they are dread of being diagnosed and what the disease may bring about and of course the burden of luxurious medication such as the medicines and examines needed. With this, the latest machine that can detect breast cancer to both men and women has already brought in the country by MacKay Holdings, a US-listed company which has the rights to initiate the retail of the Biofield Diagnostic System (BDS), invented by Dr. David Long. The BDS machine is non-invasive and painless diagnostic technology; it has small pads, called sensors that are connected to the portable suitcase-sized machine (with keyboard and monitor) and attached in the breasts of the patient during examine. Unlike the mammogram that hardly compress the breasts and uses radiation that can be a cause of cancer, the BDS is safe and more effective for it detects 30% of cancers specially tumors in younger age that a mammogram fails to do so.
This affordable radiation-free machine can guarantee accurate results that
can be delivered in just 15 minutes and every examine only costs 800-1500 pesos, far ten times less expensive from mammogram, CT Scan, Ultra Sound. This BDS Technology only needs a BDS Specialist that can read the color-coded imagery that the beast-cancer detection machine generates that rapidly shows the level of breast cancer risks. The main result that the BDS produce is whether the tumor is benign or malignant. Even young women, as early as 15 years old, who are not in the right age and are not qualified for mammogram because of breast tissue thickness, can be examined by the said technology. Even though there are all those high-tech breast-cancer detection machines, being aware and being fully equipped with the knowledge of preventing such disease is the best way of preventing it. Women with breast problems must do regular breast self-examination (BSE), this is very important in order for an individual to know if there are lump in the breast and must immediately reported to the doctor for urgent consultations. Everyday intake of fruits and vegetables with high anti-oxidants can possibly help hasten and even prevent breast cancer and other illnesses like stroke and osteoporosis. Fruits like Prunes, Rasins, Orange, Red grapes and Strawberries are said to be antioxidant-rich fruits.
Breast Cancer comprises 16% of 50,000 cases of cancer diagnoses made.
