According to research, fewer breast cancers are being diagnosed because of the COVID-19 pandemic. During the height of the pandemic, many health care institutions suspended their screening programs and weren’t offering mammography to patients. This resulted in a nearly 50% drop in new diagnoses, according to a study in Journal of the American Medical Association. Experts agree that one activity you should not postpone or neglect is getting your routine cancer screenings. The goal of screening is to catch cancers early. Early-stage cancers are easier to treat than later-stage cancers, and the chance of survival is much higher.
As coronavirus cases and hospitalizations continue to decline nationwide, patients are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity to complete their routine breast cancer screening. Assured Imaging is the nation’s leading provider of mobile digital mammography services. Utilizing both mobile digital 3D and 2D mammogram screenings, you will receive the latest in cutting-edge, proven technology. Assured Imaging has implemented COVID-prevention protocols, such as: limiting the number of patients and medical staff onboard, sanitizing all imagery equipment between each patient, and complete PPE and masks for all professional staff and patients on board.
