Digital Mammography
If there's one cancer that women worry about most, it's breast cancer. And the earlier you can detect breast cancer, the better. That's why the American Cancer Society and the American Medical Association recommend that starting at age 40, women should get an annual breast examination and screening mammogram.
Seattle Cancer Care Alliance has long been a leader in providing breast imaging services for women in the Pacific Northwest. Not only was SCCA the first to offer digital mammography in Western Washington, it has the largest all-digital facility in the region that's staffed with a team of radiologists who specialize in breast imaging. Studies show that in most cases digital mammograms read by specialized radiologists are over 20 percent more accurate at detecting breast cancer than traditional mammograms read by generalists.
To schedule your mammogram at SCCA's Women’s Center or to find out when the SCCA Mobile Mammography Van (the MammoVan) will be in your area, please call (206) 288-7800.
