Supporting You From Prevention to Recovery

When it comes to your breast health, you’re the expert on your body. If you notice something that’s not normal for you, don’t wait to reach out to our team for the answers you need.

Because with breast cancer, prevention is essential — and screening is key. Screening mammograms can detect breast cancer early, when it’s easiest to treat. Our imaging specialists also have advanced training and expertise in detecting subtle differences between tissues to pinpoint areas of concern.

On our campus, the Edna Owens Breast Center delivers personalized treatment and comprehensive care. It serves the community as a one-stop, patient-focused center for the rapid diagnosis and comprehensive treatment of breast diseases. The center is designed to be both beautiful and convenient, bringing together a wide range of women’s services, from screenings and consultations to treatment and procedures.

Finding the Right Treatment for You

    Hypofractionated Radiation Therapy

    You may be a candidate for this new radiation therapy schedule that involves fewer treatments with higher doses of radiation at each treatment. Many patients find this to be more convenient and have fewer side effects than those with longer, traditional radiation schedules.

Strategies for Breast Cancer Prevention

Since breast cancer is a genetic disease that can arise at any phase of life, there is no one way to prevent it. However, you can take some important steps to decrease your risk and catch symptoms early.

Here are some simple ways to lower your risk of developing breast cancer:

  • Avoid smoking tobacco and drinking alcohol
  • Consider medication and surgery as preventive measures if you’re at high risk
  • Eat a diet rich in healthy foods, like fruit and vegetables
  • Exercise and maintain a healthy weight
  • Talk to your doctor about how often you should get screened based on your unique risk factors

Learn more about your controllable and uncontrollable risk factors in our informative downloadable guide.
