Care Resource participa activamente en la lucha contra el cáncer de mama ayudando a las mujeres a hacerse pruebas para detectar el cáncer de mama antes, ayudándolas a comprender sus opciones de tratamiento y a afrontar los efectos secundarios físicos y emocionales.
Para el Mes Nacional de Concientización sobre el Cáncer de Mama en octubre, Care Resource is offering free mammograms to new and existing patients without private or government insurance at our Miami-Dade offices. To make an appointment, one must call 305-576-1234 EXT: 470 (English) and 471 (Spanish), and a mammogram virtual wellness voucher will be assigned.
According to Dr. Carmen Paez, MD, Primary Care Physician with Care Resource, “Early detection of breast cancer with screening mammography means that cancers can be diagnosed early and treatment can be started earlier in the course of the disease, possibly before it has spread. Getting a high-quality screening mammogram is the most effective way to detect breast cancer early and help reduce the number of deaths from breast cancer among women ages 40 to 74.
The decision to start regular, biennial screening mammography before the age of 50 years should be an individual one and discussed with your Care Resource proveedor medico
I encourage all women to work with your Care Resource medical provider, if concerned about screening mammograms and discuss your concerns with your provider. Together you can decide what’s best for you based on your individual breast cancer risk.
Su proveedor podrá mostrarle los beneficios, riesgos y limitaciones de las mamografías de detección y el papel de los autoexámenes de los senos para ayudarla a familiarizarse más con sus senos, lo que puede ayudarla a identificar anomalías o cambios.
They will also be able to explain to you the role of a clinical breast exam, which is an annual examination of your breasts by your provider and is offered at Care Resource.
Tener la unidad móvil FIU / Linda Fenner 3D Mammography disponible para nuestras pacientes nos permitirá aumentar las pruebas de detección de cáncer de mama y brindar una detección temprana del cáncer de mama a nuestras pacientes. Insto a todos nuestros pacientes a que aprovechen esta maravillosa oportunidad y se hagan las pruebas de detección ".
