Overall

I had hernia surgery July 1st in Va. I over reached recently ( 4 months later ) & pulled it. They would not give me a nerve block shot or any pain meds. Big waste of my time & money.

Primary Care
We recommend a routine yearly breast examination by a health care professional starting at age 20. In most cases this examination can be performed by a primary care physician. For women who are at high risk or who have special concerns, a yearly beast examination preformed by one of our breast surgeons along with a same day mammogram can be accomplished.

Pregnancy

Ovarian Cancer
The important risk factors are associated with first degree relatives (mother, sister, daughter), especially if they have had early onset breast cancer (that is, breast cancer under 50 years, bilateral breast cancer, or a family history of ovarian cancer). Other patterns in family history may strongly suggest an inherited gene abnormality that is independent of normal aging and is associated with a relatively higher risk of breast cancer. The following signs suggest that there may be an inherited gene abnormality in your family...

Anxiety

Ultrasound
The techniques of this procedure are rather simple. A very fine needle is inserted into the tumor. In some cases where the tumor is not palpable, an ultrasound is used to guide the needle to the area of concern. The needle is moved back and forth and placed on a slight suction so that cells can be removed from the tumor. These cells are placed on a slide and evaluated by the pathologist. In our experience, 80% of palpable tumors can be diagnosed using this technique. It is usually performed at the time of the patient’s first office visit. The results are often available within two hours. In cases where this procedure does not give a precise diagnosis, the next step is usually a core needle biopsy.
MRI
The MRI procedure produces images based on how the water content of cells responds to high frequency radio waves. Currently, the MRI is not used for screening. At our Center, it is used on selected patients with known breast cancer to evaluate the extent of the lesion to determine if a cancer patient is a candidate for breast-conserving surgery (see Treatment Procedures). The MRI is also commonly used at our Center to evaluate patients with breast implants, and is approximately 95% accurate in determining the presence of ruptured silicone implants. Newer technical breakthroughs in MRI research suggest that future machines will become even more valuable in the early detection of breast cancer, differentiating between suspected benign and malignant lesions.
X-Rays
Mammography
A mammogram is an x-ray picture of the breast. Modern mammography equipment and techniques expose women to only minimal amounts of radiation. A trained radiolologic technologist positions your breast between two plastic plates that compress it, spreading it out so that the x-ray can produce as precise an image as possible. Two x-rays are taken of each breast during mammography-one from above and one from side to side. A specially trained physician-a radiologist-reads the mammogram to see if any suspicious areas exist.
Computed Tomography
Chemotherapy
To reach cancer cells that may have spread beyond the breast and nearby tissues, doctors use drugs that can be given by pills or by injection. This type of treatment is called systemic therapy. Examples of systemic treatment include chemotherapy, hormone therapy, and monoclonal antibody therapy. Hormone therapy is only helpful if the tumor is hormone receptor positive.
Radiation Therapy
If margins are clear, mastectomy can usually be avoided. Small, non-aggressive forms of DCIS may be safely treated with careful observation and follow-up. However, in larger or more aggressive forms, radiation therapy is always required to lower the rate of local recurrence. Even cases with involved margins can often be treated with breast preservation, as long as the margins can be cleared with a subsequent biopsy.

Reconstructive Surgery
If a woman is considering mastectomy, it is important that she be given the option of immediate breast reconstruction. One problem facing such women is that it is difficult to coordinate the reconstructive surgery with the mastectomy on a timely basis. Some of the more common options include...

Plastic Surgeons

Breast Reconstruction
If a woman has a mastectomy, she may want to consider having the breast rebuilt; this is called breast reconstruction. This requires additional surgery to create the appearance of a breast after mastectomy. The breast can be reconstructed at the same time the mastectomy is done (immediate reconstruction) or at a later date (delayed reconstruction).
Breast Surgery
While many women see their breast surgery scars as an empowering symbol of beating cancer, many do not. Studies show that breast surgery scars significantly impact a woman’s psychological and emotional recovery and quality of life after surgery because scars can impact a woman’s self-confidence, intimacy, and body image.
Gynecomastia
Not all breast disease is confined to women. Adolescent boys often develop excessive breast growth due to hormone fluctuations. The condition, which is usually temporary, is called gynecomastia. Men can also develop other breast disease, including breast cancer, although incidence rates are much lower among males.

Cyst
Lesions
The mammotome is a variation of the stereotactic technique in which a larger sample of tissue is obtained with the use of a specially designed suction device. This is currently the procedure of choice at The Breast Care Center and has proven to be remarkably successful in lesions seen on the mammogram.
