Comprehensive Breast Center
According to current statistics, one in eight women (12.64%) will develop breast cancer at some time during her life. Some studies suggest that fewer than 50 percent of women in this area get an annual mammogram, their best defense against breast cancer.
The Comprehensive Breast Center has gone from a vision to reality through the commitment of many community leaders working with Phelps County Regional Medical Center.
Phelps County Regional Medical Center is fortunate to be among the leaders in offering the state-of-the-art Image Checker. This method enhances a traditional mammogram and can detect tumors or abnormalities earlier, meaning patients can begin treatments quicker.
Examination of Mammogram
Another key element of the Comprehensive Breast Center is the multidisciplinary team of physicians that meet on a weekly basis to discuss identified cases and make recommendations for treatment. Using this approach, as well as working with the primary care physician, patients of the Breast Center get the best that modern medicine has to offer. To schedule a mammogram, call Centralized Scheduling at (573) 458-7737.
