Today’s women lead increasingly busy lives. Even so, it’s important to take time out for routine breast cancer screening, because all women are at risk. At this facility, St. Luke’s provides DEXA scans, 3D screening mammography, and education in order to identify cancer at its earliest, most treatable stage.
St. Luke's believes in providing high quality comprehensive breast care services and empowering patients to partner in their own breast health care. You are your best advocate beginning with breast health education, self-exams, and annual screenings to improve the chances of early detection. Breast cancer, when caught early, is very treatable and offers the best chance for long term survival. Knowing your risk, breast symptoms to look for, and when to start screening is key to early detection. At St. Luke's, we offer comprehensive breast screening and prevention services.
Screening Recommendations- The American College of Radiology and National Comprehensive Cancer Network recommends annual 3D screening mammography beginning at age 40 for average risk women.
- However, if you are at higher risk of developing breast cancer you may need to begin screening at a younger age. You should talk with your doctor or health care provider about when you should begin screening.
We offer walk-in screening mammograms Monday through Friday, from 9 a.m - 3 p.m.
We also offer 3-D diagnostic mammography, breast ultrasound, image-guided needle biopsy, and stereotactic breast biopsy services at this facility, if recommended, after your initial screening.
