- Breast Cancer Screenings and Tests for Early Treatment
-
You want the facts, and you want them now. The sooner you know your diagnosis, the sooner you can start any necessary breast cancer treatments. And when it comes to breast cancer, early detection and treatment are essential. To help you find answers and move into treatment faster, we've made the diagnostic process simpler, more convenient, and more streamlined to bring you results faster. Screenings and tests we offer include:
- BRACAnalysis – A laboratory test that screens for hereditary breast and ovarian cancers.
- Breast MRIs
- Bone DEXA – A bone density scan that can help us tell if cancer has spread to the bones.
- Computer-Aided Detection – Helps us interpret diagnostic images more accurately.
- Digital Mammography – Allows for higher image resolution and less radiation exposure.
- Molecular Breast Imaging – Helps us detect breast cancer in high-risk women.
- Stereotactic Biopsies/Ultrasounds – Procedures that use mammography and ultrasound technology to identify an abnormal lesion, take a tissue sample, and test the sample for harmful developments.
- 3D Mammography – Captures multiple images at different angles to create a clearer, three-dimensional reconstruction. This allows us to closely examine every section of the breast, ensuring no detail is overlooked. 3D mammography can improve cancer detection by as much as 30 percent.
When you’re waiting to hear back about a diagnosis, the hours can seem longer than usual. That’s why we strive to bring you results as quickly as possible. For diagnostic mammography and ultrasound, you can expect same-day results. For biopsy pathology, you can expect results within five days, and for screening mammography, you can expect results within seven days. Our team of nurses, pathologists, radiologists, and oncologists will do all they can to help you understand your diagnosis, and if you need further care, we’ll help you schedule expedited appointments so you can start receiving treatment as soon as possible.
