Apart from skin cancer, breast cancer is the most common cancer among American women, affecting roughly one in eight. While that percentage has remained static for decades, the average 5-year survival rate has risen to 90%. When breast cancer is discovered early, while isolated within the breast, the 5-year survival rate jumps to 99%, making early discovery paramount.

Your health is about much more than you, it’s also about the people in your life who care about and depend on you to be around for a long time. And sure, there are plenty of reasons to put off getting a regular screening mammogram: discomfort, inconvenience, fear. It may be safe to say that most women feel at least some hesitation when considering screening.

Radiology Associates Imaging is proud to offer the 3D Tomosynthesis Mammography™ exam, a breakthrough in early breast cancer detection.

If you’re a woman who has had a screening mammogram and have been notified about your “breast density,” you probably have questions about what it is and what it means to your breast health.
