The UMass Memorial Medical Center in Worcester offers a complete range of diagnostic and treatment services for routine breast screenings, as well as prompt evaluation and state-of-the-art treatment of breast disorders and cancer at our Comprehensive Breast Center. Our center serves as a hub for a variety of breast-related services for the UMass Memorial Health Care system.

We encourage patients to involve spouses, family and friends so they will have their support as well as ours. We answer patients' questions, discuss fears, and attend to physical and emotional needs.

Through our partnership with UMass Medical School, our patients have access to the most sophisticated medical technology and treatments available. We are an active cancer research group, giving our patients many options to participate in clinical trials studying the newest treatment approaches.

In addition to diagnostic and treatment services, we offer weekly multidisciplinary sessions that provide one-stop care for our new breast cancer patients in a patient-focused setting. The center also provides a wide range of services for screening of asymptomatic women and efficient, complete evaluation of symptomatic women. A high-risk screening program including genetic testing and counseling is also available.

Through a coordinated, personalized schedule, patients meet with specialists in one-on-one sessions. Our specialists guide patients through the maze of information and options so they are empowered to make the best decisions for themselves.
