Mammograms, which are x-rays of the breast, are the best method to detect breast cancer in its early stages, when it is easier to treat and before it is large enough to feel when palpating or causing symptoms. Getting regular mammograms can reduce the risk of dying from breast cancer. At this time, a mammogram is the best way to detect breast cancer for most women. The Metropolitano Hospital offers the mammography service at the San José and Lindora sites.
