Breast cancer is the number one cancer treated at McLeod Health each year.  Numerous studies have shown that when breast cancer is diagnosed early it has a cure rate of greater than 90 percent. Some breast cancers have no symptoms when the tumor is small and most treatable. Therefore, it is important to follow screening guidelines for early detection, before symptoms are noticeable.

At McLeod Health 3D technology fosters early detection, diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer. Experienced specialists know the best methods to shrink and surgically remove tumors while working to preserve your breast. Talented aesthetic surgeons restore your breasts and self-image.

  • Understanding Your TC Score

    When a woman undergoes an annual screening mammogram, they also complete a breast health risk assessment. This tool, known as the Tyrer-Cuzick score or TC score, allows radiologists to determine a woman’s lifetime risk for developing breast cancer. The risk for breast cancer depends on a woman’s health history and family history. To learn more about the TC Score, watch the video on the left featuring Dr. Shawn Conwell, Medical Director of McLeod Breast and Women’s Imaging.

  • What is Automated Whole Breast Ultrasound?

    The Automated Whole Breast Ultrasound System offers a significant advancement over traditional handheld ultrasound for detecting breast cancer in women with dense breast tissue. Unlike handheld ultrasound, which scans only sections of the breast, the automated breast ultrasound captures images of the entire breast, providing a comprehensive view. This complete image can be compared year after year, which is crucial for tracking changes and identifying areas of concern as they develop.
