Breast Health

September 10 | Noon - 1:00 pm

This seminar provides a comprehensive overview of breast health, including breast imaging and current screening guidelines, common benign breast conditions, and the clinical “gray areas” that often require further evaluation. Participants will learn when a breast biopsy is indicated, how breast cancer is diagnosed and staged, and the treatment options available, including surgical management, radiation, chemotherapy, hormonal therapy, and targeted therapies. The program will also discuss post-treatment surveillance, follow-up care, and strategies to support long-term breast health and survivorship.

Presenter: Dr. Wakefield, Hammond-Henry Hospital
