BREAST LESIONS
Understanding Breast Lesions
At Metro St Louis and Southern Illinois Breast Health Centers, we are dedicated to providing comprehensive care and support for patients with breast lesions. Breast lesions refer to any abnormality or lump that is found in the breast tissue. While many breast lesions are benign and not harmful, they can sometimes be indicative of more serious conditions.
Diagnosis and Treatment
Our team of expert physicians and healthcare professionals is highly trained in the diagnosis and treatment of breast lesions. We utilize advanced imaging technology, such as mammography, ultrasound, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), to accurately evaluate and diagnose breast abnormalities.
Once a breast lesion is detected, further testing may be necessary to determine its nature and potential risk. This may include a biopsy, where a small sample of tissue is collected for examination. Our skilled pathologists will analyze the sample, providing vital information for an accurate diagnosis.
Based on the diagnosis, we will develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to each patient's specific needs. Treatment options may include close monitoring, medication, minimally invasive procedures, or surgical intervention. Our priority is to provide the most effective and least invasive treatment approach to ensure the best possible outcomes.
Comprehensive Approach to Breast Health
At Metro St Louis and Southern Illinois Breast Health Centers, we believe in a comprehensive approach to breast health. Regular breast screenings, including mammograms, are crucial in detecting breast lesions early, when they are most treatable. We recommend that all women, starting at the age of 40, undergo annual mammograms as part of their preventive care routine.
In addition to screenings, we emphasize the importance of self-breast examinations. It is essential for women to be familiar with the normal appearance and feel of their breasts, enabling them to detect any changes or abnormalities promptly. If you notice any changes, such as new lumps, skin changes, or nipple discharge, we encourage you to seek medical attention as soon as possible.
