Our Breast Health Center, which is a part of Yaşam Hospital Oncology Center, offers all the possibilities of technology to provide the best care to every woman.

Early Diagnosis of Breast Cancer
Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer that women can encounter in their lifetime (Early diagnosis can save your life).

Self-Examination
Starting at age 20, all women should perform breast self-exams once a month (about a week after the start of each menstrual period). If you feel an unusual lump or anything else, it's important to see your doctor right away.

What is Breast Ultrasound?
Ultrasound is an imaging method that uses high-frequency sound waves to take pictures of internal organs and tissues.

When Should Breast Ultrasound Be Performed?
Annual routine ultrasound follow-ups should not be interrupted starting from the age of 25. Since ultrasound does not contain radiation and does not have any side effects on the body, it can be applied safely.

What are the Risks of Breast Ultrasound?
Breast ultrasound uses sound waves, not radiation, to produce images. Ultrasound technology has no known risks.

What Happens After Breast Ultrasound?
After your breast ultrasound, the radiologist interprets the images and reports the results to your doctor. If any additional testing is needed or follow-up is recommended, this information will also be shared with you.

What are the Benefits of Breast Ultrasound?
Ultrasound scanning is non-invasive (no needles or injections).
Ultrasound imaging is extremely safe and does not use radiation.
An ultrasound scan gives a clear image of soft tissues that do not show up well on x-ray images.
Ultrasound provides real-time imaging. This makes it easy to guide minimally invasive procedures such as needle biopsies and fluid aspiration.
Ultrasound imaging helps detect lesions in women with dense breasts.
Ultrasound can help detect and classify a breast lesion that cannot be adequately interpreted by mammography alone.
Using ultrasound, doctors can determine that many areas are caused by normal tissue (such as fat lobules) or benign cysts. For most women age 40 and older, a mammogram will be used in conjunction with an ultrasound. For women under 40, ultrasound alone is often sufficient to determine whether an area of concern needs a biopsy.

What Does the Breast Health Package Consist of?
The breast health package consists of General Surgery Examination and Breast USG.

Note from your doctor:
Breast ultrasound is a safe, painless imaging method to examine targeted areas of breast tissue. Breast ultrasound provides detailed images of the breast tissue and we can diagnose cysts or lumps if present. Diagnosing possible risks at an early stage provides a very important gain in the treatment process.
