THE BREAST HEALTH CENTER

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.
