Breast cancer survival rate triples with early detection. Unfortunately, women who have dense breasts tend to be diagnosed late, as mammograms have trouble detecting small tumors embedded in dense tissue. Automated Whole Breast Ultrasound (AWBUS), a breakthrough technology in cancer screening, is not only better at detecting smaller tumors (as small as 3 mm) even in dense breasts: it is also radiation-free.

Radiologist Dr. Kevin Kelly has been studying the effects of AWBUS in conjunction with mammography, and found that, just as survival rate triples with early detection, early detection triples with AWBUS.Please read the abstract published by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) for more information about this incredible innovation in cancer screening.

“Dr. Barbara Hayden is hands down the best doctor I have ever been a patient of in my life. The most knowledgeable, experienced, kind and skilled professional. I have had several treatments from her, one of which required major surgery. Not only was the surgery better than the accounts of others in my research, the recovery and the end result were nothing short of spectacular.”
