Importance of Mammograms

Routine screening mammograms play a crucial role in identifying breast cancer at its initial stages. Early detection via mammograms significantly improves treatment outcomes and survival rates for breast cancer patients.

Diagnostic mammograms serve to further examine any irregularities detected in a screening mammogram. They are instrumental in investigating new breast lumps, breast pain, changes in skin appearance, thickening of the nipple, or nipple discharge.

What to Know About Mammograms

Mammograms are specialized X-ray exams used to detect breast cancer early by creating images of breast tissue. Regular mammograms can significantly increase the chances of detecting cancer at an early, treatable stage.

What to expect

You will experience brief discomfort as each breast is compressed for imaging, but the procedure is quick and vital for early detection.

After your exam

Most mammograms are normal, but if further evaluation is needed, your doctor will discuss the next steps with you.
