In addition to truly world-class physicians, nurses and technology, the Indiana Breast Center is a caring, positive environment, dedicated to compassion, clear communication and comprehensive patient support — including not only medical care, but also emotional support and education.
Early Detection
Breast cancer is a frightening diagnosis, but it's not the end of the story. Tremendous resources have been devoted to the development of new treatments and new therapies. Surgery, hormone therapy, chemotherapy and radiation are all possible treatments — and with new advancements, they can be more effective and have fewer side effects.
Early detection is key. According to the National Cancer Institute, when breast cancer is found early and still localized, the relative survival rate (measured at five years) is 97 percent.
Doctors and nurses at the Indiana Breast Center work with our patients to help them develop a regular breast-health routine including self examination and, at a certain age, regular mammograms and other imaging tests. We also offer a complete range of advanced detection and evaluation techniques, including minimally invasive biopsy of any suspect areas.

Mammograms
When, and How Often?
In general, we recommend that women age 40 and older have a mammogram every year. In some cases — based on family history, genetic screening or other reasons — your doctor may recommend starting earlier, or having them more frequently.
In any case, it's important to discuss mammography with your doctor. It's one of the best ways to ensure early detection — and early detection can be an important part of successful treatment.
Breast health requires a proactive approach to prevention and detection. In the event of a cancer diagnosis, it requires a wealth of support and resources, including advanced treatment.
Prevention
The Indiana Breast Center offers a full spectrum of educational services designed to help women and men decrease their risk of developing breast cancer.
