Annual mammograms are currently offered at three NSMC locations -- NSMC Salem Hospital, NSMC Union Hospital and the NSMC Women's Center in Danvers.

Advanced diagnostic testing, including stereotactic or ultrasound-guided needle biopsy, as well as digital mammography, breast MRI and breast ultrasound, are offered at our newest Breast Health Center now open at the Mass General/North Shore Center for Outpatient Care in Danvers. Genetic screening and counseling, as well as a Patient navigator support program and outpatient breast surgery, round out the Breast Health services at the new Center.

The Breast Health Center on Phippen 4 of NSMC Salem Hospital is a beautifully designed space offering the following enhanced services:

• Reports of normal test results within one week
• Call back within 48 hours if additional follow-up is needed
• A Breast Health "Navigator" who guides patients with positive results through the next steps
• Appointment with a surgeon within 48 hours if necessary

Test results from repeat mammograms are also provided immediately. If further testing is warranted, diagnostic services such as stereotactic and ultrasound-guided needle biopsy are available.

If you do receive a diagnosis of breast cancer, the breast cancer team at the Mass General/North Shore Cancer Center is ready to help you. Learn more about Mass General/North Shore Cancer Center  or call 978.882.6060.
