When you choose The Breast Center at Glens Falls Hospital for your annual mammogram, the differences are real and important.

• We offer the latest in digital screening technology.
  Our full-field digital mammography system helps doctors detect breast cancer in its earliest stages by providing sharper, more detailed images of your breast tissue.

• We'll give you the time and attention you deserve.
  Every image we take provides important information about your health, so we take the time to ensure that we get the best images possible. We also offer optional clinical breast exams by specially trained nurses.

• Our staff makes our technology even better.
  With mammograms, the best quality image is greatly dependent on the skill of the technologist operating the equipment. Our highly trained technologists ensure that your breasts are positioned to provide doctors with the best quality images and perspectives.

• You'll get fast diagnosis of abnormal findings.
  One in 10 women will encounter an abnormality in her mammogram – 90% of which WILL NOT be breast cancer. Even so, the hours before a final diagnosis can be extremely stressful. We do everything we can to reduce this period of uncertainty. Working with experienced radiologists and your doctor, we quickly schedule ultrasounds and other tests – all performed right here at our Center – to help you quickly determine the cause of any abnormality.

• We offer minimally invasive breast biopsies.
  If you have a breast abnormality that requires further diagnosis, we offer non-surgical, minimally invasive breast biopsies that provide doctors with the most accurate information as quickly as possible, and minimize your discomfort.

• Specially trained nurses are here to help you.
  If an abnormality is detected, and a biopsy is required, you will be assigned a specially trained nurse as your personal support and education provider for the duration of the diagnostic and, if necessary, treatment process.

• We partner with the region's leading radiologists,
  Adirondack Radiology Associates, who provide expert review and analysis of your breast images and work closely with your doctor if additional testing is required. All of the images at The Breast Center are reviewed locally, not transmitted to out-of-town facilities.

• We're part of the The C. R. Wood Cancer Center.
  If you are diagnosed with breast cancer, you and your family will have access to the full resources of the nationally accredited C. R. Wood Cancer Center – the region's most comprehensive center for cancer treatment, research, support and education.
