Early detection can save lives with breast cancer

  • Breast cancer will affect one in eight women during her lifetime. When detected early, breast cancer can be treated and cured.
  • That’s why Lawrence County Memorial Hospital urges you to get a mammogram every year once you reach 40 years old.
  • A specialized medical imaging technique that uses low-dose x-rays to see breast tissue. 3D mammography captures layered images of the breast at different angles to create a clear 3D reconstruction of the breast. This technique allows physicians to see images of the breast in layers, improving visibility and detection of breast tumors. It also reduces the frequency of “false positives” and the need for additional testing.
  • Lawrence County Memorial Hospital is having another Bring A Friend Day on July 20th where you and your friend can schedule your mammogram at the same time.
