We have many services to check for breast cancer and find it early. Your family doctor may send you to us to:
- Have a mammogram or ultrasound (tests that take pictures of the inside of your breast)
- Have a breast biopsy (taking a small piece of tissue from your breast)
- Meet with a nurse navigator (an expert who will organize your appointments and tests, and help you understand your care)
- Meet with a surgeon because you have symptoms that could be signs of cancer
- Meet with a surgeon to review the results of your mammogram, ultrasound, and/or breast biopsy
