| The Breast Health Centers offer a variety of breast
examinations designed to provide the most accurate diagnosis
possible. Women receive quality care in compassionate, professional
surroundings at Cape Coral Hospital, Lee Memorial Hospital,
HealthPark Medical Center, and Riverwalk Professional Center.
At some point in their lifetimes, many women will develop breast
problems. Fortunately, most breast abnormalities, such as
fibrocystic changes and benign tumors, are the response of normal
breast tissue to common hormonal changes in the body.
Therefore, the discovery of a lump in your breast is cause for
medical evaluation...not alarm. Although the American Cancer
Society's recent survey shows that 1 out of 9 women in the U.S.
develop breast cancer, there is hope for this special group of
women. Early detection of breast cancer means a 98 percent survival
rate. And early detection offers women time to consider surgery and
treatment alternatives.
A Thorough Approach
We use various techniques for examining and imaging your
breasts. Since no single technique is 100 percent accurate in
detecting potential problems, one procedure, or a combination of
procedures may be used, according to each woman's individual need.
