Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among women. Indeed, one in every 8 or 9 American women will develop breast cancer at some point in her life. Early detection is the key and the goal of the Saint Thomas Center for Breast Health, providing a wide array of well-women services through one convenient center. These services include screenings and a full range of education and support services. Comprehensive diagnostic services include mammogram, ultrasound and a variety of biopsy techniques. The Center for Breast Health also partners with the physicians of Saint Thomas Hospital to provide cosmetic and reconstructive surgery.

The decision on how to best treat breast cancer is made by you and your physician. Our experienced staff will partner with you and your other healthcare providers and make sure you are an active participant in your own care. Treatment options include chemotherapy, surgery, and hormonal and radiation therapy.

To ensure early detection:

• Perform a monthly breast self-exam
• Have your doctor examine your breasts once a year
• Start annual mammograms at age 40 or at age 35 if you have a family history of breast cancer.
