The Digital Difference
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, breast cancer is the most prevalent form of cancer in American women next to nonmelanoma skin cancer, yet one-third of women older than 40 haven’t had a mammogram in the last two years.
If you’re a woman older than 40, there’s no reason not to get your annual screening. The Virginia Clay Dorman Breast Care Center at Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital Southwest Fort Worth is one of many Texas Health Resources hospitals that offer the latest
in comprehensive breast services, such
as digital mammography for clearer, better-quality images with less radiation.
