Women’s Breast Health
Breast cancer is the most commonly-diagnosed cancer in women in the United States. Early detection of breast cancer saves lives and increases the success of treatment. Southern Regional is dedicated to providing state-of-the-art screening tools and treatments for breast cancer.
The Breast Health Clinic and Surgery Clinic offers innovative surgical techniques such as Oncoplastic Breast Cancer Surgery, as well as Ultrasound-Guided and Stereotactic Core Breast Biopsies on-site to optimize positive outcomes for our patients.
Mammograms and clinical breast exams are the best screening tools. Yearly mammograms should start at age 40 for most women, but women with a family history of breast cancer should talk to their doctors about being screened at a younger age.
Southern Regional offers mammography at two locations – Southern Regional Medical Center and Spivey Station.
