DIEP Flap: The Most Advanced Breast Reconstruction
Our Breast Cancer Program is one of a handful of programs nationwide that offer deep inferior epigastric perforator flap (DIEP Flap) breast reconstruction surgery. Unlike standard tissue reconstructions, the DIEP Flap procedure leaves the patient’s abdominal muscles intact. The result is faster healing, less pain and preservation of core strength.
Genetic Counseling and Testing
The Cancer Genetics Screening Program can provide counseling and testing for women who are concerned about their inherited risk of breast cancer, including BRCA genetic testing.
Mammograms and the COVID-19 Vaccine – What You Should Know
Swelling of the lymph nodes is a known side effect of the COVID-19 vaccine. Although it is temporary and not harmful, these enlarged lymph nodes may be seen on your mammogram. Because swollen lymph nodes can indicate breast cancer, we may call you back for additional evaluation and possible follow-up imaging. To avoid this, please schedule your mammogram before your first COVID-19 vaccination or four weeks after your second-dose vaccination.
Virtual Visits Are Available
Safe and convenient virtual visits by video let you get the care you need via a mobile device, tablet or computer wherever you are. We’ll gather your medical records for you and get our experts’ input so we can offer treatment options without an in-person visit. To schedule a virtual visit, call 1-866-680-0505.
Cancer and the COVID-19 Vaccine
There is currently no data that suggests current or former cancer patients should avoid getting the COVID-19 vaccine. Cancer can weaken your immune system, so we recommend that most patients get the vaccine as soon as possible.
