Genetic Assessment

The Comprehensive Breast Program includes a staff of dedicated genetic counselors who help identify patients who with developing breast and possible other cancers due to their personal and family history.

Certain inherited gene mutations can sometimes increase a woman’s risk to develop breast cancer up to 85% during her lifetime. A blood or saliva sample can examine an individual's DNA to determine if he/she has an inherited gene mutation that can increase the risk to develop cancers.

If an individual is found to have an inherited gene mutation, there is discussion about early detection and risk reducing strategies.

Baptist Women's Health Center is accredited by the American College of Radiology as a Center of Excellence and also by the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers (NAPBC).

Featured Technology

Contrast Enhanced Mammography

A contrast-enhanced mammogram can detect cancers that may not be visible on a standard mammogram, generating fewer false positives than MRI breast imaging and making breast tumors easier to see. It involves injecting a contrast dye into the blood before taking two mammogram images. The contrast goes to areas of increased blood flow in the body. Because breast cancers generally have more blood flow, they will often attract the contrast.

Contrast-enhanced mammograms have several additional benefits. The process is faster, less expensive and generally better tolerated than MRI. The mammograms may also provide patients with a definitive answer on the day of their visit compared to possibly waiting days or weeks for MRI results.

Contrast-enhanced mammograms are often recommended for patients with increased risk factors, such as dense breast tissue, because they have a four to six times higher risk of developing breast cancer than women with no dense tissue.

Are you at risk for breast cancer?

Risk assessment and genetic testing can help you develop a breast cancer screening and management plan with your doctor. Take this short quiz to learn more about factors that could possibly put you in the high-risk category.

Mammogram

What can I expect at my mammogram?

Screening mammograms (image) help detect tumors or calcium deposits that can't be felt. Some of these abnormalities can indicate the presence of breast cancer. Watch the video below to learn how to prepare for a mammogram at one of our imaging centers near you.

Why do I need further diagnostic testing?

Diagnostic mammograms are ordered when a new physical change in the breast is identified on your exam. This test is also ordered when a screening mammogram detects an abnormality in the breast. This test must be ordered by providers. Learn what to expect when you arrive at our breast health center for further diagnostic testing by watching the video.

Breast Ultrasound

A breast ultrasound may be needed to get a closer look at an abnormality identified during a mammogram. This test uses sound waves and does not expose the patient to radiation.

Breast MRI Scan

Your doctor may order a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for additional testing. An important breast health service, this test is also used for screening women who are at high risk for breast cancer. During this test, dye will be injected through an IV in your arm. The use of dye is to measure blood flow patterns in the breast. This exam uses magnetic energy and no radiation.

Breast Needle Biopsy

A small amount of breast tissue is removed using a needle and sent to the lab for review under a microscope to determine if the tissue is cancerous.

Treatments for Breast Cancer

Breast cancer treatment varies depending on the type and stage of the cancer, as well as the patient's medical history and overall health. Common breast cancer treatments include:

Surgery
Chemotherapy
Radiation therapy
Hormone therapy
Targeted therapy
Immunotherapy
