Now Offering ABUS at Graham Hospital in Canton

In addition to our existing services, we are now offering Automated Breast Ultrasound (ABUS) at Graham Hospital in Canton. ABUS provides an additional layer of screening for women with dense breast tissue, enhancing the ability to detect breast cancer earlier and more effectively. ABUS was purchased through the generosity of a grant from The Graham Hospital Foundation.

Recognizing breast cancer symptoms

The best way to detect breast cancer early is through the completion of a mammogram. A mammogram can catch abnormal tissue you might not be able to see or feel, and it might spot tumors that just aren't big enough to cause you pain or discomfort.

Proper identification of breast cancer symptoms is important. You should perform a monthly breast self-exam to feel for lumps or bumps. You should also watch for other symptoms, including:

Swelling of all or part of the breast
Irritated or dimpled skin
Breast or nipple pain
A nipple that’s turned inward
Redness, scaling, or thickening of the nipple or breast skin
Nipple discharge other than breast milk
A lump in the underarm area

Call your doctor if you find anything unusual. And if you're not sure how to do a breast self-exam, just ask your Graham Medical Group doctor. We'll help you understand how to perform these tests quickly and accurately. And we are here for you if your self-exam causes you alarm.

For early detection of breast cancer, the specialists at Graham Health System suggest the following screening recommendations to support breast health:
