Large well-controlled scientific studies have repeatedly shown the benefit of mammography in the early detection of non-palpable breast cancer. Yearly mammograms, beginning at age 40, enable doctors to diagnose breast cancer in its earliest and most treatable stages. Unfortunately, some women delay their breast cancer screening out of fear or anxiety
Sturdy Memorial Hospital’s “Mammograms in the Moonlight” event, which takes place Monday, October 3, 2016 between 5-8 pm, aims to make the process more enjoyable and convenient by offering after-hours digital mammograms complete with refreshments. Take time for yourself, invite a family member or friend to join and scratch your annual mammogram off your to do list at this event. Kenneth Kaplan, MD, board certified in Diagnostic Radiology and Asma Latif, MD, board certified in Hematology and Oncology, specializing in women’s cancers, will be available to provide education and answer any questions related to screenings and early detection.
This event is for annual mammograms, women participating can use their insurance benefit. As space is limited, registration for this event is necessary. To register, please call 508-236-7730.
