Mammograms are one of the most important tools doctors have in breast cancer prevention and early detection. 

  • Mammograms are recommended annually for women age 45 to 54
  • Women 55 and older can switch to mammograms every 2 years, or continue yearly screening
  • In some cases, screening recommendations begin at earlier ages. If you have an increased risk for breast cancer, we recommend regular screenings. Your health care provider can help identify if you are at an increased risk.
  • You may choose to have a screening earlier and/or more often if you feel the benefit outweighs the potential concern

Providence utilizes digital mammography, which provides clearer, more accurate X-ray images. This means shorter examination times, quicker results, more convenience and less anxiety for you.

Our specialists will work together to help you conquer breast cancer. Your care team may include:

  • Breast surgeons
  • Cancer genetics counselors
  • Clinical research professionals
  • Medical oncologists
  • Pathologists
  • Patient navigator
  • Radiologists
  • Radiation oncologists
  • Rehabilitation specialists

The earlier breast cancer is found, the better the chances of successful treatment. That’s why it’s so important to pay attention to any changes in your breasts that could be signs of breast cancer. Understanding what is normal for your breasts, and what isn’t, can be lifesaving.

Symptoms to pay attention to

In the very earliest stages, breast cancer has no outward symptoms. Sometimes the earliest sign is a tiny lump, or mass, that’s detectable only on a mammogram. As the disease progresses, however, more noticeable changes might appear. These can vary widely — while a lump is the most common symptom, it is by no means the only one. Any of the following changes could be a warning sign of breast cancer:

  • A lump in the breast or armpit area
  • Thickening or redness of the breast skin
  • Swelling in all or part of the breast
  • Dimpling, puckering, irritation or scaliness of the breast skin or nipple
  • Pain or tenderness in the breast or nipple
  • A nipple that turns inward, flattens out, pulls to one side or changes direction
  • Bloody nipple discharge or unilateral discharge other than breast milk

These symptoms may be signs of breast cancer in men as well as women.

What to do if you have symptoms

If you notice a potential symptom of breast cancer, or if you’re concerned about any changes in the way one of your breasts looks or feels, please call your primary care provider or breast care specialist. While these symptoms don’t always indicate cancer — sometimes they are signs of something less serious, such as a cyst or an infection — it’s important to have a physician evaluate them right away. Don’t wait to see if they go away on their own. It bears repeating: treating breast cancer successfully is much easier when it’s caught and treated early.

Personalized Treatment for Breast Cancer

Systemic therapies travel through the bloodstream and affect cells in other body parts. They are used for patients whose cancer has spread to other areas of the body or if there’s a high risk of spread. Sophisticated genetic analysis allows us to target therapies to specific DNA mutations that cause cancer cells to develop and grow. Systemic therapies include:

  • Chemotherapy
  • Clinical trials
  • Hormone therapy
  • Immunotherapy
  • Molecularly targeted therapy

Surgical therapies involve an operation or procedure to remove cancer from the body. Surgery may be the main treatment for some invasive cancers, but it’s only one part of the entire treatment plan. Surgical therapies include:

  • Advanced axillary surgery techniques
  • Aesthetic flat closure mastectomy
  • Axillary lymph node dissection
  • Excisional breast biopsy
  • Excisional breast biopsy using targeted localization techniques
  • Lumpectomy
  • Mastectomy with immediate reconstruction
  • Nipple-sparing mastectomy
  • Oncoplastic lumpectomy
  • Risk-reducing mastectomy
  • Sentinel lymph node mapping and biopsy
  • Skin-sparing mastectomy
  • Total mastectomy

Radiation therapy uses high-energy radiation from a source like X-rays or photons to kill cancer cells or shrink tumors. It may be part of a treatment plan that also includes systemic therapies and/or surgery. Radiation is sometimes used to help ease a patient’s pain or discomfort. Radiation therapies include:

  • Active Breathing Coordinator™ (ABC)
  • Accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI)
  • Hypofractionated whole breast radiation therapy
  • Intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT)
  • Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS)
  • Three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy (3DCRT)

Additional therapies may also be part of your treatment plan.

You’ll be provided with cancer supportive therapies to prevent or relieve symptoms, and to keep you as comfortable as possible throughout the course of your treatment. These may include:

  • Lymphedema therapy
