Montclair Breast Center Announces 100 Percent Early Diagnosis of Breast Cancer

According to The American Cancer Society, “The goal of screening exams for early breast cancer detection is to find cancers before they start to cause symptoms.”

Montclair Breast Center is doing just that and has perfected the early detection of breast cancer; 100 percent of Montclair Breast Center’s established patients (those having consecutive annual screening mammograms performed at the center) who were found to have breast cancer were diagnosed at the most treatable Stage 0, Stage 1 and very rarely Stage 2. This new early detection rate is way above the national average.

Dr. Nancy Elliott feels that all women deserve the level of breast care she provides and encourages women to consider finding their own breast doctor. She says, “Women research a lot of things that are important to them; they research where they get their hair done and what restaurants they go to but very few know who read their last mammogram, which is one of the most important decisions they can make. Women should have a breast doctor because breast cancer is the number one killer of women in ages 40 to 55. All the GYN cancers combined equal just one third the incidence of breast cancer yet women go to gynecologist every year.”

The physicians at Montclair Breast Center report that reaching 100 percent early detection for their patients requires their collective team effort by women physicians, including:

• Specially trained breast surgeons and Fellowship Trained breast radiologists with a minimum of 15 years of experience reading only breast images.
• Complete onsite screening technology, including 3D Mammography, Breast Ultrasound and Breast MRI.
• Comparative review of current mammogram with previous mammogram results and patient history.
• Breast density evaluation.
• SAME DAY consultation with a breast imaging specialist.
• Individualized patient risk analysis for breast cancer.
• Additional studies performed while patients are still in the center, lessening rescheduling, waiting and patient anxiety.
• On site vacuum-assisted stereotactic biopsy.
• Uncompromised patient care and a long-term meaningful doctor-patient relationship.

Anyone interested in learning about individualized treatment of breast cancer, lifestyle choices and how to reduce your risk, join Nancy Elliott MD FACS, Director of Montclair Breast Center on October 23, 2014 at 7:30 p.m. at the YMCA Of Montclair (Meeting Room, 25 Park Street) for a free seminar.
