The screenings are open to all women age 40 or older, except for those with implants or current breast problems (such as lumps, pain, discharge, burning, or history of breast cancer). Call 865.305.9069 to make an appointment or for more information about insurance, costs or services.
Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among women. The American Cancer Society recommends that women age 40 and older have a screening mammogram (X-ray of the breast) and a clinical breast exam every year. Detecting breast cancer at an early stage greatly improves chances of survival.
