Fight Breast Cancer
Education and Early Detection Are The First Steps.
When it comes to your health and well being, make Avera your health care resource. With diagnostic services conveniently located throughout the region, the latest technology (including digital mammography at many locations), proven treatment options and a team of specialists dedicated to fighting breast cancer, you’re in good hands when you select Avera for your care.
If you are age 40 or older and have not begun a proactive breast health program, we encourage you to schedule a screening mammogram today at any Avera location. When combined with an annual physical examination and monthly breast self-examination*, annual mammography is the best way to identify breast cancer in its early stages, before a lump can be felt. In fact, mammography detects 80 to 90 percent of all breast cancers found in women with no symptoms.
When detected at an early stage, treatment for breast cancer may be more effective, and additional options may be available, including participation in clinical studies designed to evaluate the latest and most innovative treatments for breast cancer.
