The Interprofessional Occupational Health Center 97.1 organized last Tuesday a targeted awareness morning on the return to employment of people affected by breast cancer.
In the middle of Pink October, which is busy with local activities, this awareness morning unfortunately did not attract a large audience despite the extreme need to deliver this message. Around fifteen people nevertheless attended the information-rich event organized by CIST 97.1 in partnership with the CCISM, the League against Cancer and the Cancer Screening Coordination Center of Guadeloupe, SXM and SBH (CRCDC).
Organized breast cancer screening is aimed at women aged 50 to 74 without risk factors or symptoms. In Guadeloupe, there are 78.000 women with CGSS insurance in this age group who receive a biannual invitation for a check-up mammogram. In 2022, 16.000 mammograms were performed with a participation rate of 44% (EU target 70%): 1033 lesions detected on 1st or 2nd reading. Breast cancer in Guadeloupe, the leading cause of death among women, has 1 cases per year. Dr Anne-Laure Aurore (CRCDC) wanted to debunk the rumor concerning mammograms: a radio image cannot trigger cancer, the new machines being significantly less irradiating than in the past. The risks of breast cancer increase to 220% after the age of 80, 50 cases have been recorded in Guadeloupe since January 30, 1. For Dr Marie Laruelle, head of the oncology department at Fleming hospital, screening must be done as often as possible. as early as possible. Of the treatments, only chemotherapy is available here. Breast surgery and radiotherapy are carried out in Guadeloupe. 2023 cases of breast cancer were counted in Saint-Martin in 20, relating to biopsies carried out in Guadeloupe: “The incidence is a little higher than in mainland France” specifies Dr Laruelle. Rachel Begarin, a liberal nurse passionate about aesthetics, set up a well-being workshop at the hospital in 2022 to serve patients with breast cancer. After reciting a poignant poem on the subject, Rachel announced the distribution of beauty product kits at the hospital center. Occupational doctor Sandor Sardaki detailed the return to work process for survivors: pre-resumption visit, capacity assessment, work adaptation, conversation with company hierarchy and personalized dynamic monitoring. Finally, Tearai Colombel, sports coach, specified that any treatment amplifies general exhaustion, it is reduced by 2022% during treatment thanks to appropriate physical activity, and by 18% afterward. At the end of the conference, a self-palpation workshop made it possible to raise women's awareness of the practice. _VX
