Breast Cancer Program Overview

Mount Sinai Medical Center offers a wide variety of breast care services, giving patients access to advanced screening, diagnostic, and treatment options. Our expert physicians are committed to personalized, high-quality care in a supportive environment dedicated to helping women stay healthy and feel empowered on their health journey.

Through innovative technology, early detection of breast cancer means that effective treatment can start in the initial course of the disease, likely before it has spread. Whether it is a first mammogram or diagnostic testing, our trained professionals help guide patients to an array of educational, counseling, and support services for breast care tailored to the individual needs of each person.

Cutting-Edge Technology

  • The Lila & Harold Menowitz Comprehensive Breast Center in Miami Beach and the Gail S. Posner Women’s Center in Aventura offer comprehensive breast services with state-of-the-art screening and detection technologies. This maximizes the accuracy and precision of our breast imaging capabilities and aids in the early detection and treatment of any abnormalities.
  • We offer a wide variety of imaging options, including digital screening and diagnostic mammography with Tomosynthesis (3D), breast ultrasound (including screening ultrasound for dense breast tissue), breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), stereotactic X-ray guided tissue biopsy, ultrasound guided tissue core biopsy, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) guided breast biopsy, cyst aspiration, and more.

Expertise

  • Our Lila & Harold Menowitz Comprehensive Breast Center in Miami Beach has been designated as a Breast Imaging Center of Excellence (BICOE) by the American College of Radiology (ACR), as a result of its focus on service, technology, and expertise. The designation is awarded to breast imaging centers that achieve excellence by seeking and earning accreditation in all of the ACR’s voluntary breast imaging accreditation programs, in addition to the mandatory Mammography Accreditation Program.
  • All breast imaging physicians at Mount Sinai are fellowship trained, which means they completed radiology training as well as an extra year of training specifically in breast imaging.
