Magnolia Matters - 2019 Fall/Winter

For more information regarding breast cancer screenings, please call 662.293.1000 or visit MRHC.org/Mammography October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Many people will wear pink to recognize survivors, honor those who have lost the fight, and raise funds for research. This year, MRHC encourages women to take one step further and begin performing your own regular self-exams (see page 7) . Breast cancer affects one in eight women. Sometimes, even with self-exams, early detection through regular screenings may be the only way to discover the disease before symptoms appear. At MRHC, we are able to deliver a series of detailed breast images using the Genius™ 3D Mammography™ exam. The accuracy of those images allows your doctor to better evaluate your breasts layer by layer. Why is the Genius™ 3D Mammography™ exam right for you? Provides greater accuracy for women across a variety of ages and breast densities Scans faster for less time under compression Detects 20-65% more invasive breast cancer compared to 2D mammography alone Reduces callbacks by up to 40% compared to 2D mammography alone Breast Cancer Affects 1in8 women 2019 FALL/WINTER 8
