Breast Care
Breast cancer is the second most common cancer diagnosed in women in the United States. In fact, one in eight U.S. women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. That’s why education, screening and state-of-the-art breast cancer treatment is so important. Mayo Clinic Health System is committed to partnering with you on your breast care journey and providing the best breast care available.
Breast Cancer Prevention and Screening
Our breast care services include modern screening and diagnostic mammography and ultrasound. If the radiologist detects something abnormal in your mammogram, we can complete a second exam, breast biopsy or MRI. Once our team completes the pathology (lab work) for the biopsy, a surgeon can meet with you within a short period of time.
