Breast Cancer Treatment Tailored to Each Patient’s Needs
Because no two patients or diagnoses are ever the same, Knoxville Comprehensive Breast Center always tailors breast cancer treatment to each patient’s needs. Our services include all the following:
- Screening Mammograms – If you’re a woman over 40, getting a breast cancer screening or mammogram is an essential part of your health care. For your peace of mind, we are certified by the FDA and the American College of Radiology. Physician referrals are not required at KCBC.
- Screening Breast Ultrasounds – We recommend getting a breast ultrasound if you have dense breasts in addition to a mammogram for a more accurate diagnosis. Breast ultrasounds offer real-time imaging for a better look at soft breast tissue without exposing a patient to X-ray radiation.
- Mobile Mammography – Because early breast cancer detection is important, we’ll come to you with our mobile mammography services. These 15-minute exams utilize state-of-the-art 3D digital mammography equipment and are covered by most preventative care plans.
- Diagnostic Breast Ultrasounds – Our high-resolution diagnostic breast ultrasounds provide a clearer picture of suspicious lumps, masses, fluid-filled cysts, and more. Ultrasounds also aid in more accurate needle placement during biopsies and cyst aspirations in our office.
- Digital Diagnostic Mammography – If you’ve noticed unusual nipple discharge, breast lumps, or other breast cancer signs, digital mammography can pinpoint the cause.
- Second Opinion Evaluations – Have you received abnormal screening mammogram results? Everyone is entitled to a second medical opinion. Our breast radiologists often provide second opinion evaluations that include breast ultrasounds, breast MRIs, and image-guided biopsies.
- Breast MRIs – We use breast MRIs to capture high-resolution images of soft breast tissue to detect early breast cancer abnormalities and signs. MRI machines utilize radio and magnetic waves to take detailed pictures of the breasts in this noninvasive, painless procedure.
- Image-Guided Biopsies – If your breast ultrasound has revealed a mass, we use image-guided biopsies to take samples to see if the mass is cancerous. Your breast will be numbed with local anesthesia before the biopsy starts. Biopsy results are usually available within 24-48 hours.
- Cryoablation – Cryoablation therapy freezes small breast cancer masses. The extreme cold causes cancer cells to die from necrosis. The body can then break them down piece by piece until the cancer is gone. Side effects are minimal, and most patients experience a fast recovery.
- Boutique – We have Certified Mastectomy Fitters in our boutique to fit you with mastectomy bras, camisoles, wigs, and breast prosthetics after breast cancer surgery. We’re here to help personalize your road to recovery from breast cancer with whatever you need.
