Abstract:

A woman has about a one in eight chance of developing breast cancer in her lifetime, with the likelihood increasing with age and after menopause. While breast cancer is a very common cancer, the death rates have been steadily decreasing over the past decade. The key to surviving breast cancer is early detection. As director of women's imaging for Wake Radiology, Kerry Chandler, MD, leads a team of radiologists specializing in reading thousands of mammograms performed at Wake Radiology's six breast imaging locations in the Triangle, including Wake Radiology Comprehensive Breast Imaging Services in Cary, the area's first center dedicated exclusively to breast imaging.
