Breast Health

When you have a concern about your breast health, you want answers quickly. As a leader in diagnosing and treating breast cancer and breast disease, we understand this. That’s why our team is focused on providing personalized care and guidance you can trust for breast cancer and other breast conditions. We specialize in the evaluation and treatment of breast lumps, breast pain, nipple discharge, and any other breast concerns.

Take our breast cancer health risk assessment and learn whether you’re at higher risk for breast cancer and what what you can do to reduce your risk.

Most breast problems are not cancerous. A clinical exam by a breast health practitioner—and imaging services, when necessary—can help clarify the nature of your problem and bring you peace of mind. At Virginia Mason Franciscan Health, you are in the care of health professionals with a particular interest and expertise in your breast concerns. 

Our comprehensive breast imaging and mammography centers are recognized as Breast Imaging Centers of Excellence by the American College of Radiology. We use the latest 3D digital screening mammography to detect tumors, cysts, and other subtle changes in breast tissue that may be too small to detect by touch.

About 1 in 8 women in the United States will develop breast cancer during her lifetime. But with regular screening and early detection, it’s much more likely that breast cancer will be either prevented or successfully treated and often cured. That’s why we offer a complete spectrum of breast health services with compassionate providers. From the latest mammography and diagnostic technology to advanced treatment for breast cancer, we’re proud to provide breast health care that’s designed for you.  

Whether you’re concerned about developing breast cancer or have recently been diagnosed, you’ll find the expert care you need at Virginia Mason Franciscan Health Cancer Care. With dedicated breast cancer surgeons and treatment centers throughout the Puget Sound area, you'll have access to the full continuum of care, from screening and diagnosis through treatment and follow-up. Learn more.
