Early detection is the most powerful tool we have in fighting breast cancer and has increased survival rates to more than 95 percent. The earlier cancer is detected, the more options a woman has for treatment as well as a better chance for survival. Methods for early detection include Breast MRI, Digital Mammography, Sonography, Breast Self Exam and Physician Exam. Our Center is focused on providing the necessary care and procedures to assist in early diagnosis.
At the Women's Center for Radiology, we are committed to educating our patients so they have a full understanding of what they are going through and feel most comfortable with any procedures involved. |
