According to a recent study conducted by the Memphis Breast Cancer Consortium, Margaret West’s full-service breast clinic is unique in the Mid-South. Finding all of services listed above in one central location is quite unusual, making Margaret West Comprehensive Breast Center an invaluable resource for women in this community.

The study also found that over 70% of the Breast Center’s patients studied during this initiative needing a biopsy received this procedure within 5 days of their initial mammogram. The national average is 14 days.

Patients are able to not only receive a full spectrum of specialized care all in one place, but they can also expect collaborative efforts on diagnosis and treatment plans with Breast-Specific Tumor Boards taking place weekly for complex cases. Participating specialists include surgical oncologists, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, breast-specific radiologists, pathologists, clinical researchers, genetic counselors and more.

In short, although Breast Cancer Awareness Month is dedicated to the month of October, at Margaret West Comprehensive Breast Center, breast health is always the primary focus.

From annual mammograms to cancer treatment and survivorship - women can access all the breast health care they need in one place.
