Just about everyone knows someone who has been diagnosed with breast cancer. According to the American Cancer Society, one in eight women will be diagnosed with the disease. The good news is that breast cancer is treatable, if found early. The five-year survival rate currently exceeds 95 percent, thanks to regular clinical breast examinations, monthly self exams and annual screening mammograms. The key is catching breast cancer in the early, treatable stage. 

 

Mecklenburg Radiology Associates has designed a specialty breast program that includes subspecialists who have an interest in mammography, breast MRI, ultrasound and breast biopsy. These procedures are at most hospital locations and at Presbyterian Breast Center, a state-of-the-art facility dedicated to breast health. Screening mammography is available at Ballantyne, Museum, University, Huntersville and at Lake Norman Medical Center.
