              SERVICES, Kentucky River Medical Center - Breast Health

              Breast Health

              1 in 8 American women will develop breast cancer in her lifetime according to the National Cancer Institute. Mammograms save lives. That’s a fact. Getting a mammogram takes less time than ever before, new designs make them less painful, and most insurance plans will cover them. 

              Mammograms are x-rays of the breasts used to detect tumors before they can be felt. Kentucky River Medical Center offers “high-tech, soft-touch” digital mammography. 

              Modern, full-field digital mammography provides incredibly sharp images and faster results. Soft and warm breast cushions on the mammography machine reduce discomfort. Your exam will be performed by a radiology technician specially trained in mammography. Kentucky River Medical Center also offers a variety of other diagnostic services including biopsy, ultrasound, and Breast MRI. 
              For more information or to schedule an appointment, please contact: 606-666-6240

              The American Cancer Society recommends the following for women monitor their breast health: 

              • If you are age 40 to 45, you have the choice to begin annual mammograms

              • If you are between the ages of 45 to 54, you should get a mammogram every year

              • If you are 55 or older, you can switch to mammograms every two years, but you can continue yearly screenings, if you wish. 

              • No matter you age, remain familiar with the way your breasts normally look and feel. Report any changes to your healthcare provider as soon as you notice something different. 

              • Women who have inherited gene mutation, personal or family history of breast cancer are generally at a higher risk. Talk with your physician to determine your risk and decide which screenings options are right for you.
