It ’ s time to schedule your breast cancer screening
October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month , and it ’ s the perfect time to think about getting one of the most important screenings for breast cancer – a mammogram . According to the American Cancer Society , when breast cancer is detected early and hasn ’ t spread , the 5-year survival rate is 99 %. That ’ s why early detection is so important .
3D mammograms available in Coshocton The Genesis Coshocton Medical Center Imaging department offers 3D mammography , a newer technology that allows radiologists to view three-dimensional images . Studies show that 3D mammograms are better at detecting breast cancer than 2D mammograms and have fewer false positives . Our experienced mammogram technicians will guide you through the screening with care and compassion .
