Breast Cancer Awareness Month: Empowering Yourself Through Knowledge and Action

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, making it the perfect time to highlight the importance of breast health and the proactive steps individuals can take. At Fairview Range, we’re dedicated to providing our community with key information and resources to support breast health awareness. 

 

Breast Health 101

Breast health is an essential aspect of overall well-being. The first step toward taking charge of your health begins with education. Regular self-examination and awareness of what is normal for your body can help in detecting changes early. If you notice a lump or any unusual changes, it’s vital to consult your healthcare provider promptly. Early detection can significantly impact treatment outcomes and survival rates. 

 

Know Your Options

Here at Fairview Range, we offer a comprehensive array of breast health services designed to meet your needs. From routine screenings to advanced diagnostic procedures, our team is here to guide you through the process. Our services include:

  • 3Dimensions Mammography System: a true game-changer, offering several key benefits such as  “detecting 20%-65% more invasive breast cancers.”  With its exceptional image clarity and comfortable design, this system enables our radiologists to detect even the tiniest abnormalities with precision. 
  • The Brevera® Breast Biopsy: The Brevera® system offers real-time imaging during biopsy procedures.
