                      Early Detection and Treatment for Breast Cancer Starts with Screenings

                      10/5/2022

                      breast healthBreast cancer remains a top risk for women, making up 30% of all new female cancer cases in the U.S. annually. Fortunately, a screening mammogram can help detect breast cancer in its earliest and most treatable stages. AllianceHealth Ponca City is encouraging women to schedule their screening now, because when breast cancer is detected early, life-saving treatment can begin right away.

                      Here in Oklahoma, 2,885 new female breast cancer cases were reported in 2019, the most recent year data is available.

                      “Early diagnosis and treatment increase the chance for survival of any cancer,” said Guillermo Robles, obstetrics and gynecology physician at AllianceHealth Ponca City. “It is imperative that women over 40 get an annual screening mammogram regardless of symptoms or family history.”

                      Early Detection Saves Lives
                      Nearly all breast cancers can be treated successfully if found early. The most effective way to detect breast cancer at an early, treatable stage is to have yearly mammograms. Since mammography became widely used in the 1980s, the U.S. breast cancer death rate in women has dropped 43 percent.

                      The American College of Radiology (ACR) and Society of Breast Imaging (SBI) recommend annual mammograms start at age 40 for women of average risk. Different guidelines apply to women at higher risk.

                      African Americans and those of Ashkenazi Jewish descent should have a risk assessment at age 30 to see if a screening earlier than age 40 is needed. Women who were previously diagnosed with breast cancer are recommended to be screened with magnetic resonance imaging, an MRI.

                      To schedule a mammogram, call (580) 718-2918. Or, to find a primary care doctor or OB/GYN, visit Alliancehealthponcacitydocs.com/doctors-providers.

                      This October, we are making mammograms more affordable. Pay only $119 during Breast Cancer Awareness Month 2022.

                      Call (580) 718-2918 to schedule a screening.

                      Purchase your voucher through MDsave for the 2D mammo discounted price. Bring it to your appointment or let us know that you have purchased it upon checking in. Appointments do not need to be scheduled within the month of October, but vouchers must be used within 6 months of the date purchased.

                      In celebration of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we will hold two full mammo screening days: October 7 & 21. Cupcakes and cookies provided! Receive a Breast Cancer Awareness Month pocket planner during your visit.
