Center for Breast Care - Saratoga Hospital
Prevention, Treatment & Diagnosis of Breast Disease
At the Saratoga Hospital Center for Breast Care, we have put together the advanced technology, the expert team, and the commitment to a comprehensive approach, so women can feel confident that they are being cared for completely.
Accredited by the American College of Radiology as a Breast Imaging Center of Excellence, our Women’s Imaging Center at this location offers advanced breast imaging services in a spa-like environment designed to ensure the best possible care along with maximum comfort.
Breast cancer screening is done to detect breast cancer before there are any symptoms. Finding breast cancer early gives the best options for treatment and cure.
Among the services we offer:
- Advanced breast imaging
- Dense breast screening
- 3D mammography
- Mammography
- Breast biopsies, including needle biopsies and surgical biopsies
- Breast MRI
- Breast ultrasound
- Breast surgery
The treatment of breast disease can involve several modalities, including surgery, medication, and radiation. Our experienced breast care providers work together to provide comprehensive care using the latest technologies and methods to treat all breast conditions, including breast cancer.
Breast cancer treatment is individualized, and each treatment plan is different. Our team reviews the surgical treatment options with patients, and helps direct the development of the entire care plan. When medications will be part of the plan, the Center for Breast Care will make arrangements for a consultation with a medical oncologist. Similarly, when radiation therapy is needed the Center for Breast Care will arrange for a radiation oncology consultation. The Saratoga Hospital Center for Breast Care provides the coordination and navigation needed for comprehensive care.
Among the treatments we offer:
- Breast conserving surgery for breast cancer
- Oncoplastic breast reconstruction
- Mastectomy
- Breast reconstruction
- Skin sparing mastectomy
- Nipple sparing mastectomy
- Sentinel lymph node biopsy
- Axillary dissection
We offer a program for women at a higher risk of developing breast cancer.
A variety of issues may influence the risk, including:
- Family history
- Genetic mutations
- Dense breasts
- Obesity
- Early menstruation
- Entering menopause at an older age
Patients interested in a consultation to see if they qualify for this program can ask their primary care provider for a referral, or call the office directly at 518-580-2170.
Dedicated to our Patients
Whether your visit is for screening, prevention, diagnosis or treatment, Saratoga Hospital has a comprehensive collection of resources to provide care to patients with breast concerns.
The breast care provider team includes nurse navigators, radiologists, fellowship trained breast surgeons, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, plastic surgeons, physical therapists, an oncology social worker, and dieticians.
Coordinating Your Care
Although care is delivered by a diverse team of specialists, the nurse navigators and staff coordinate and streamline the process so that each individual patient is provided with the specialized, supportive care and attention they deserve.
From the minute you walk through our door, you will feel completely cared for and comforted. Feel free to ask questions. Let's talk about what kind of appointment schedule works best for you. We want to know how we can fully meet your needs.
The Center was created to be a total resource. We take care of breast cancer patients all the way through to survivorship. We also take care of the many women who don't have cancer, but have had a scare and need to know everything has been done to make sure they truly are in good health.
Providing both knowledge and compassion to our patients, we understand, is critical to achieving healthy outcomes. We do all we can to provide just this kind of care.
