Breast Care
The Breast Care Center at Columbia Hospital
Columbia Hospital has been designated a Breast Imaging Center of Excellence by the American College of Radiology (ACR)
By awarding facilities the status of a Breast Imaging Center of Excellence, the ACR recognizes breast imaging centers that have earned accreditation in mammography, stereotactic breast biopsy, and breast ultrasound (including ultrasound-guided breast biopsy).
Peer-review evaluations, conducted in each breast imaging modality by board-certified physicians and medical physicists who are experts in the field, have determined that this facility has achieved high practice standards in image quality, personnel qualifications, facility equipment, quality control procedures, and quality assurance programs.
The ACR is a national professional organization serving more than 34,000 diagnostic/interventional radiologists, radiation oncologists, nuclear medicine physicians, and medical physicists with programs focusing on the practice of medical imaging and radiation oncology and the delivery of comprehensive health care services.
The Breast Care Center at Columbia Hospital offers help to the patient from diagnosis to treatment, and ultimately, to the return to daily life. Patients coming to the Breast Care Center for treatment of a breast disorder will consult with the appropriate medical experts in surgery, medicine, and radiation oncology as well as radiologists and nurses. Together they will plan the most effective course of treatment.

"Surgery Choices for Women with Early-Stage Breast Cancer"
is a new booklet to help patients understand their breast cancer surgery options and to aid in the decision-making process. The booklet was developed through a partnership between the National Cancer Institute’s (NCI’s) Office Education and Special Initiatives, the National Research Center for Women & Families, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, the Offices of Women’s Health at the NCI and the Department of Health and Human Services, and the Office of Research on Women’s Health at NIH.
The booklet explains different surgery choices so that women can weigh the pros and cons of each. Included is a "Compare Your Choices" chart, which helps women compare surgery choices based on multiple factors including surgery side effects, additional treatments, and the chance of cancer recurrence for each surgery type.
