Prevention

The earlier cancer is detected, the better the chances that breast cancer treatment will be effective, so the goal is to find cancers before they begin to cause symptoms. The most common screening methods include mammograms, clinical breast exams and breast self-exams.

Diagnosis

More women survive breast cancer than ever before thanks to advanced screening and diagnostic techniques that allow treatments to be tailored specifically to each patient. If you have a symptom or a test result that suggests cancer, your doctor may order additional tests or procedures. Bridgeport Hospital provides a range of highly advanced detection services for breast cancer.
