Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women, so breast health and accurate and early detection of diseases are given special attention. In the mammology department of Wigmore Women's and Children's Hospital, the patient can receive a high-quality breast examination using the latest equipment, and if pathological changes are detected, precise and careful treatment. The activities of the mammology department are conventionally divided into two large groups: diagnostic services and treatment services. Diagnostic services are provided by radiologists specializing in breast pathology using modern and high-quality equipment.

 Diagnostic services are:

  • Breast sonography
  • Preventive mammography for breast screening

Medical services provided by a specialized oncologist-mammologist include:

  • Conservative treatment of benign breast diseases

Surgical methods for treating benign breast problems:

  • Removal of benign tumors
  • Breast reduction for gigantomastia
  • Aesthetic breast surgery
  • Correction of defects of previous breast surgery using lipofilling and/or oncoplastic surgery.
  • When detecting breast cancer, complex accurate diagnosis / histological examination, immunohistochemical study of cancer, multi-organ stratigraphy /.
  • Outpatient surgical and conservative treatment of inflammatory diseases of the mammary gland.

The department works closely with the hospital's gynecology and urogynecology departments to treat breast problems that arise during pregnancy and after childbirth.
