Breast Cancer Care at Alliance International Medical (AIM) Cancer Center
Several forms of cancer affect the breast. Breast cancer can be invasive or noninvasive. In addition, it can affect one or more parts of the breast or nearby structures. Like all cancers, breast cancer can spread to other parts of the body. Because both men and women are born with breast tissue, this disease can affect anyone.

Screening and Diagnostic Mammograms
There are two types of mammograms: screening and diagnostic.
A screening mammogram is performed if you have no symptoms of breast disease.
A diagnostic mammogram is performed if you have:
- Signs or symptoms of breast problems, including:
o Lumps
o Pain
o A change in skin color or texture
o A change in size or shape of the breast
o Nipple discharge or inversion - A personal history of breast cancer
- A personal history of benign breast disease diagnosed by a biopsy, or a previous suspicious
breast mass or lump - Large, augmented, or implanted breasts that are difficult to examine
Once the exam is complete, your board-certified radiologist will interpret the images with you.
Generally, mammograms are extensive enough for doctors to determine a diagnosis, however some
people may require further testing, such as breast biopsies or ultrasound scans.
