Don’t Delay Your Breast Cancer Screening
During this unprecedented time, many people are worried about things in their lives that have been put on hold. For some women, this includes an annual mammogram. Our imaging centers, cancer centers and hospitals have implemented numerous safeguards and taken extra precautions to protect our patients and staff from the coronavirus and to provide a safe environment for this potentially life-saving cancer screening.
Safety protocols in place include screening for COVID-19 symptoms upon entry, following strict social distancing measures, prohibiting most visitors, enhancing already rigorous cleaning and disinfecting practices, and mandating a mask or face covering for all patients and staff.
As New Jersey’s only National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center, Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey together with RWJBarnabas Health provides patients access to the most advanced screening, diagnoses and treatment options for breast cancer including complex surgical procedures, sophisticated radiation therapy techniques, innovative clinical trials, immunotherapy, and precision medicine.
Early Detection Saves Lives
When breast cancer is caught early, the prognosis is often excellent. In fact, according to the American Cancer Society, the 5-year survival rate for breast cancer found early and confined to the breast is 99 percent.
Your breast health is too important to wait.
