"Women at a higher risk for breast cancer, should begin their screening mammograms at an earlier age, approximately ten years prior to the first degree relative (mother, sister, daughter) who was diagnosed pre-menopausal. In addition both genetic risk assessment and testing should be obtained." Dr. Tchaiko Parris

Learn together, fight together, win together! #RadNet #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth

It’s always fun when we can treat our patients to a little something special! In celebration of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, our team of mammography technol...ogists and supervisors at Victor Valley Women's Center had fun giving away little goodie bags to each patient that came in for their annual mammogram yesterday!! #RadNet #Radiology #EarlyDetection

3D Mammography is the state of the art mammogram technology that improves our ability to detect breast cancers. It has some distinct advantages over conventional 2D mammograms, most notably is its ability to create a 3D or volumetric image of the breast. If a 2D mammogram is like looking at the floor plan of a home, then a 3D mammogram allows you to open the doors and look inside, affording a more detailed evaluation. Dr. Jason McKellop

You're more powerful than you think! Sending encouragement to all those who need it.

Pink masks today for National Mammography Day in the Victor Valley region! #RadNet #NationalMammographyDay

It’s National Mammography Day! We want to remind you to take a moment to schedule your annual screening mammogram and encourage your loved ones to do the same. Early detection saves lives! #RadNet #NationalMammographyDay

Remind your friends and family members how important yearly mammograms are! According to the American Cancer Society, breast cancer is the most common cancer diagnosed among women in the United States today. It is the second leading cause of death among women after lung cancer.

Today we stand with the Metastatic Breast Cancer community. An estimated 154,000+ women are currently living with metastatic breast cancer in the United States. While this disease is terminal and cannot be cured, it is not hopeless. Because of improved treatments many women can live long, productive lives for many years with this type of cancer. There are a wide variety of treatment options and new medicines are being tested every day.

Congratulations Raquel!!

Thank you Dr. Hession for sharing this important message with women. "Early detection of breast cancer with annual mammography remains our most powerful tool in the fight against breast cancer in women." - Dr. Mariela Hession... #BreastCancerAwareness #EarlyDetection

There are several symptoms that can occur in women with breast cancer. Experiencing one or more of these breast symptoms does not mean you have cancer. However, women should be aware of symptoms and changes in their breasts to enable early detection of breast cancer.
