Dear patient, we are changing for you!

See you soon!

It is a safe and non-invasive method for detecting neoplastic lesions. The examination is performed on the basis of a medical prescription in paper form (valid for 3 months), most commonly from an oncologist, surgeon, or a gynaeco¬logist. The test is intended for women after mastectomy. The examination is performed in a standing position. During the examination, a female breast is compressed between the decoder and the plastic compression plate. The X-ray pictures are taken in two projections: from the side and from below. It is possible to have only one breast examined.

Mammography is, above all, a preventive examination. The likelihood of developing breast cancer increases with age. Whether or not a neoplastic process will develop is also affected by hereditary genetic predispositions, the family history of the disease, “dense” breast tissue, early menstruation (before the age of 12), late menopause (after the age of 55), high obesity following menopause, childlessness, birth of a first child after the age of 30, and alcohol abuse.

Other indications for a mammography:

Suspected presence of lesions in the breast based on such symptoms as a tumour, nipple retraction, nipple discharge, a cyst
Pathological enlargement of axillary and/or subclavicular lymph nodes
As a follow-up examination following breast amputation
After radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy to assess the degree of breast tumour regression
Long-term hormone replacement therapy of at least 10 years
Gene (mainly BRCA1 and BRCA2) mutation carrier state.

There are no contraindications to this examination.

A Damian Medical Center consultant will call you within 24 hours of purchase to arrange a specific test date.

Please, bring a medical prescription and confirmation of payment for the examination.
