Screening and diagnosis

Your risk for breast cancer increases with age. It’s important to talk with your doctor about when and how you should be screened. Tests we offer to detect and diagnose breast cancer include:

  • 3D mammography
  • Digital 2D mammography
  • Breast ultrasound and ultrasound biopsy
  • Stereotactic breast biopsy and tumor localization
  • Breast MRI (performed in the Profili Imaging Center)
  • MRI breast biopsy (performed in the Profili Imaging Center)
  • Dual Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry (DEXA)

To schedule a mammogram, please speak with your primary care doctor. Once your doctor has placed an order, you may call Central Scheduling at 833-789-6802 to set up your appointment.

Hidden Scar breast surgery

Hidden Scar surgery conceals scars. For a Hidden Scar mastectomy, your surgeon makes a discreet incision in the area under your breast called the inframammary fold. For a lumpectomy, the surgeon may make the incision in the inframammary fold, under your armpit or by tracing your nipple. This technique is an alternative to removing the tumor from the skin above its location, which leaves a more noticeable scar on the breast.

Queen of the Valley Medical Center, an Invuity Hidden Scar Center, is proud to partner with Elizabeth Cunningham, MD, F.A.C.S., a board-certified general surgeon who received her fellowship training in surgical oncology and specializes in breast surgery.
