Diagnosis
Breast MRI
A breast MRI uses magnetic fields to create detailed images, helping detect and evaluate breast abnormalities and cancer risk.
Diagnosis
Breast Sonography and Ultrasound
Non-invasive imaging uses sound waves to evaluate breast tissue, detect abnormalities, and guide biopsies for accurate diagnosis.
Diagnosis
Contura
A minimally invasive treatment using a balloon catheter to deliver targeted radiation therapy for early-stage breast cancer.
Diagnosis
LDEX Lymphedema Assessment and Measurement
Non-invasive test using bioimpedance to detect and monitor fluid buildup for early lymphedema diagnosis and management.
Diagnosis
Molecular Breast Imaging
A specialized imaging technique that detects breast cancer by highlighting abnormal cells using a radioactive tracer and a gamma camera.
Diagnosis
Stereotactic Needle Biopsies
A minimally invasive procedure using imaging guidance to obtain tissue samples for accurate diagnosis of abnormalities.
Diagnosis
ImageGuided Breast Biopsy
Minimally invasive procedure using imaging to accurately sample breast tissue for diagnosis, avoiding the need for surgical biopsy.
Treatment
Abscess Drainage
A minor procedure to remove pus from an infected area, relieving pain and promoting healing of the affected tissue.
Treatment
Axillary Lymph Node Dissection
Surgical removal of lymph nodes in the armpit to check or treat cancer spread, often performed during breast cancer surgery.
Treatment
Cyst Aspiration
A minimally invasive procedure using a needle to drain fluid from a cyst, relieving discomfort and aiding diagnosis.
Treatment
Cryotherapy of Fibroadenomas

Treatment
Oncoplastic Tissue Rearrangement
Combines cancer surgery with plastic surgery techniques to preserve breast shape and appearance after tumor removal.
Treatment
Radical Excision of Metastatic Lesions
Surgical removal of cancerous tumors that have spread to other parts of the body to control disease and improve survival.
Treatment
Reconstructive Surgery
Restores form and function to body parts affected by injury, disease, or congenital defects, improving appearance and quality of life.
Treatment
Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy
A minimally invasive procedure to identify and remove the first lymph node(s) cancer is likely to spread to, aiding in cancer staging and treatment.
Treatment
Wire Localization Excisional Biopsy
A wire guides precise removal of abnormal breast tissue for diagnosis, often used when lumps are not easily felt or seen.
Treatment
Mammosite
A targeted breast cancer treatment delivering radiation directly to the tumor site, minimizing exposure to healthy tissue.
Treatment
Skin Biopsies
A skin biopsy involves removing a small skin sample for laboratory analysis to diagnose skin conditions or diseases.
Treatment
Quadrantectomy
Surgical removal of a breast quadrant, often used to treat early-stage breast cancer while preserving most breast tissue.
Treatment
Lymphovenous bypass
A minimally invasive procedure connecting lymphatic vessels to veins to improve lymphatic drainage and reduce lymphedema symptoms.
