Our Services

At our Clinic for Breast Cancer Screening, we offer comprehensive and personalized care to meet the unique needs of each patient. We use state-of-the-art screening technologies and provide ongoing support to ensure that all women receive the highest standard of care.

1. Mammography:
   A mammogram is the most common and effective screening tool for detecting breast cancer early. It involves taking X-ray images of the breast tissue to identify any abnormalities, such as lumps or changes in breast density, that may indicate the presence of cancer. Our clinic offers:

• • Routine Screening Mammograms: We recommend that women aged 40 and older undergo routine mammograms every one to two years, depending on individual risk factors. For women with a higher risk of breast cancer, we may advise starting screenings at an earlier age.
  • Diagnostic Mammograms: If a screening mammogram shows abnormal findings or if a woman has symptoms such as a lump, pain, or nipple discharge, a diagnostic mammogram is conducted to further evaluate the area of concern. This provides more detailed images for accurate diagnosis.

2. 3D Mammography (Tomosynthesis):
   Our clinic offers 3D mammography, a more advanced imaging technology that creates a three-dimensional image of the breast by taking multiple X-ray images from different angles. This method is particularly useful for women with dense breast tissue, as it provides clearer images and reduces the likelihood of false positives or missed diagnoses. 3D mammography can detect smaller tumors that may not be visible on traditional mammograms.
3. Breast Ultrasound:
   For women with dense breasts or those who need further evaluation of an abnormal finding on a mammogram, we provide breast ultrasound services. Ultrasound uses sound waves to create images of breast tissue and can help distinguish between solid masses and fluid-filled cysts. It is a non-invasive and painless procedure that offers valuable insights, particularly when used in combination with mammography.
4. Breast MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging):
   Breast MRI is another highly sensitive imaging technique used to detect breast cancer, especially in women who are at high risk or who have a family history of the disease. MRI uses magnetic fields and radio waves to create detailed images of the breast. It is often recommended for women with dense breasts, those with BRCA gene mutations, or those undergoing surveillance after a previous breast cancer diagnosis. Breast MRI is typically used as a supplement to mammography, rather than a replacement.
5. Clinical Breast Exams and Self-Examination Guidance:
   In addition to imaging tests, we provide clinical breast exams performed by our trained healthcare professionals. During a clinical breast exam, the doctor manually checks the breasts and underarm areas for lumps or other abnormalities. We also educate patients on how to perform regular breast self-exams at home, which can be an important way to detect any changes between scheduled screenings.
6. Genetic Testing and Counseling:
   For women with a family history of breast cancer or known genetic mutations, we offer genetic testing to assess their risk of developing the disease. Testing for BRCA1, BRCA2, and other related genes can help women make informed decisions about their screening and prevention options. Our genetic counselors provide expert guidance on the implications of genetic test results and the next steps, including enhanced surveillance, preventive medications, or risk-reducing surgery.
7. Risk Assessment and Personalized Screening Plans:
   Not all women have the same risk of developing breast cancer, so our clinic provides personalized risk assessments based on factors such as family history, age, and genetic predispositions. This allows us to develop customized screening plans tailored to each woman’s unique needs. For women at higher risk, we may recommend more frequent screenings or additional imaging tests such as MRI or ultrasound.
