Mammary Gland Out-patient Clinic

(Open only on the 1st, 3rd and 4th Saturdays of each month)
Although it is said that Western women often have breast cancer, the number of women who have breast cancer in Japan is increasing concurrently with the westernization of lifestyle.　 It is said that one in 30 Japanese women has breast cancer now.　 If breast cancer is discovered at an early stage and is treated properly, it is a “cancer to be cured”.　 It is important to check periodically with a specialist for early detection.　 Specialists perform breast cancer checkups at this clinic.

We perform interview, inspection, palpation and an ultrasound test.　 For woman in their 30s and 40s whose mammary glands are well developed, we recommend an ultrasound test for breast cancer.　 It has the ability to detect small tumors of only a few millimeters.　 An ultrasound test is more suitable than a mammogram for those who want to avoid an exposure to radiation, juveniles, those who can not stand the pressure due to pain, inflammation or external injury in the breast, those whose mammogram is not well taken due to a severe mastopathy, and those who are required to check frequently.　 Be sure to check periodically.We offer the test by advance appointments only on the 1st, 3rd and 4th Saturdays of each month.　 The cost is 6,830 yen.
