The fully accredited Lourdes Breast Care
Center provides comprehensive care for all types of breast
conditions.
The Lourdes Breast Care Center is located on the main floor of
the DePaul Pavilion at Lourdes Hospital. We offer a complete
range of imaging services, including on-site digital mammography,
ultrasonography, galactograms, and evaluation by board-certified
radiologists. Our on-site diagnostic procedures include fine-needle
aspirations, stereotactic core and mammotome biopsies, needle
localization, and excisional biopsies.
Our Lymphedema Program features an expert who provides
individualized and group consultation, education, and referral for
complete decongestive therapy.
Early detection of breast cancer ensures long-term survival and
the use of less invasive surgery during treatment. Monthly
self-examinations, annual clinical evaluations, and yearly
sequential mammograms form the basis of this effort. Free
clinical breast exams for women who are asymptomatic are available
on Thursday afternoons at the Breast Care Center as well as no-cost
or low-cost mammograms for income-eligible women. Our participation
in the Cancer Services Program of Broome, Chenango and Tioga
Counties also means that all women screened through the
program are eligible for complete coverage of all related
diagnostic testing.
Where Do I Park?
Enter West Drive from Riverside Drive (across from Kneeland
Avenue) and proceed down the small hill, past the DePaul Pavilion,
on your left. Park in the designated DePaul Pavilion parking area,
located in Lot D. For your convenience, there is a circular patient
drop-off/pick-up area in front of the building.
In the Community
Lourdes is also bringing women's health services out into the
community. We offer screening mammography services at our
Vestal Medical Center location at 1020 Vestal
Parkway, Vestal. In addition, Lourdes Mission in
Motion program offers breast exams, mammography
screenings, pap smears, pelvic exams, and education throughout the
region. Women may use the mobile mammography unit for breast
and cervical screenings if they:
- have no current breast problems or symptoms.
- have had a prior biopsy which was benign.
- have a history of breast reduction surgery or implants.
