Breast Cancer Diagnosis and Screening

If you’re concerned about a breast lump or pain, you want answers, quickly. We’re equipped with the latest technology in testing, imaging and minimally invasive diagnostic testing. Our innovative center offers patients state-of-the-art imaging, including two new 3D mammography units, also known as tomosynthesis. This state-of-the-art, digital X-ray process creates a three-dimensional image of the breast. We also offer:

  • BRCA tests.
  • Fine-needle aspiration.
  • High-definition breast MRIs.
  • Minimally invasive stereotactic breast biopsy.
  • Tomosynthesis mammography (3D mammography).

The American College of Radiology and the Society of Breast Imaging recommend that women at average risk of breast cancer begin screening at age 40. However, they say women should have a risk assessment at age 30 to see if they need screening before age 40. The societies also recommend that women continue screening past age 74 unless severe comorbidities limit life expectancy.
