"Breast cancer is the leading cancer in India today and we are witnessing a tremendous surge in the number of cases, especially in younger women. Advanced technology such as 3D Mammography helps detect breast cancers much earlier than when they are felt by the hand. Breast cancers when detected early are easily treated with excellent survival."
When looking for a mammography clinic, women should seek certified experts who specialize in breast imaging. Studies have shown that radiologists who are specialized and experienced in breast imaging provide the most accurate readings.
At Mammocare™, we are committed to fighting breast cancer through early and accurate detection. Our facility offers the most advanced FDA-approved, 3D FFDM technology. All mammograms and ultrasound studies are interpreted and performed by Dr. Tanvi Jakhi, a Fellowship-certified, internationally trained breast radiologist.
