Regular screening mammography can often detect breast cancer long before it can be felt.

 每个女性都有患乳腺癌的风险.  八分之一的人会患上这种疾病, and 85% of those who are diagnosed have no family history of breast cancer.  This is why experts at Valley 乳房中心 believe that mammography remains the most effective tool for the detection of breast cancer at its earliest and most treatable stages.

A mammogram is a low-dose x-ray that allows radiologists to look for changes in breast tissue.  Valley 乳房中心 is proud to provide patients 3D mammography combined with 2D mammography as our standard of care. 

美国放射学会, 乳腺成像学会, 全国癌症综合网络, and American Society of Breast Surgeons recommend annual mammography screening starting at age 40 for average risk women.  In fact, with early detection the average five year survival rate for breast cancer is close to 99%.

一个有使命的医生

香农Markegard, DO, VMC家庭医学医生, has experienced both the heartache of a late stage breast cancer diagnosis within her family as well as the victory of early detection.

"My recommendations are influenced by personal experience: My mom died of breast cancer at age 38 and I have numerous patients diagnosed with breast cancer in their 30's and 40's who have beaten this disease. I want to find this cancer early so women have a greater chance of surviving.

“大多数医疗服务提供者也是如此, I'll continue to recommend annual screening mammograms starting at age 40. 乳房x光检查, 还有乳房的临床和自我检查, 这些都对早期发现乳腺癌至关重要吗. For this reason, I refer my patients, as well as myself, to The 乳房中心 at VMC. I have full confidence in their digital mammogram equipment, technologists, and expert radiologists.”
