Our breast care programs at UPMC Magee-Womens and UPMC Hillman Cancer Center have earned accreditation from the prestigious National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers (NAPBC). NAPBC is a national coalition of professional health care organizations dedicated to the highest quality of care for women and men diagnosed with diseases of the breast. The NAPBC promotes a holistic approach to treatment, focusing on the needs of the whole person, not just the disease.
UPMC Magee-Womens and its network of imaging centers pioneered the development and use of 3D mammography, also known as digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT), an advanced technology for breast cancer screening and diagnosis.
UPMC Hillman Cancer Center is one of only 57 National Cancer Institute (NCI)-designated Comprehensive Cancer Centers in the United States, one of just three in Pennsylvania, and the only one in western Pennsylvania. The NCI — our nation’s authority on cancer — extends Comprehensive Cancer Center designation to an elite group of centers that demonstrate excellence in research, patient care, education, and community outreach. In the most recent renewal, UPMC earned an exceptional rating — the highest possible.
Our team of breast surgeons, nurse practitioners, registered mammography technologists, radiologists, oncologists, radiation oncologists, pathologists, and physical therapists collaborates to provide each patient with a personalized care plan.
Nurse navigators support each patient, from the first appointment through diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up. While you focus on healing, your nurse navigator will coordinate your diagnosis and treatment services, and will also find resources through UPMC and the community to help you with issues related to your care.
Breast cancer supportive services available through UPMC include:
With breast health locations across Pennsylvania, Ohio, New York, Maryland, and West Virginia, you can access a full range of services close to home.
