Cancer care: Breast cancerSkip section navigationLocationsBreast cancer is the third leading cause of death among women, after heart disease and lung cancer. Our care teams strive to change that statistic.  Digital mammographyCompared to regular, film mammography, digital mammograms may be more effective in finding breast cancer in women younger than 50, women who have not gone through menopause, and women who have dense breast tissue.DuctographyThis type of mammographic procedure produces images of the breast ducts to find the cause of problems like nipple discharge.Bone mineral density (DXA scans)Bone mineral density (DXA scans) [?] “DXA” is short for “dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry.” It is one of the most accurate ways to assess your bone health.Image-guided needle breast biopsyA radiologist uses mammography, ultrasound or MRI to see images of the breast. If an abnormality is seen, a special needle is used to take samples of the breast tissue for further testing.Lymphedema careLymphedema is a common side effect of breast cancer treatment. It causes swelling in the arms, legs or other parts of the body. Our certified lymphedema therapists have the special training needed to help you manage this condition.MammogramsA mammogram is a low-dose X-ray picture of your breast. It can help catch breast cancer early on, when it’s most curable.Sentinel lymph node biopsyThis procedure helps determine if breast cancer has spread to the armpit. Unlike traditional methods, sentinel lymph node biopsy requires the removal of only the first lymph node(s) to which cancer typically spreads. For most women, this means faster recovery and fewer side effects.Ultrasound guided cyst aspirationUltrasound-guided cyst aspiration [?] Sometimes a breast lump is caused by a cyst. Ultrasound-guided cyst aspiration is one of the most accurate ways to remove a cyst or check a cyst for cancer.Alternative medicineOur integrative medicine experts complement cancer treatment with therapies that support healing of the mind, body and spirit.Cancer rehabilitationAs you recover from cancer treatment, we can help restore function and improve your quality of life.Cancer resource centerYou have a place to go to for information on cancer prevention, diagnosis and treatment.
