Comprehensive Breast Care

What is comprehensive breast care?

Comprehensive breast care is a unique, integrated approach to breast cancer. The patient is partnered with specialists that include all board-certified medical and radiation oncologists, pathologists, radiologists, and plastic and breast cancer surgeons to develop a multidisciplinary approach to help individuals overcome breast cancer. The entire treatment team practices in the same clinic or hospital grounds, providing a single destination for diagnosis and treatment.

Premal Sanghavi MD, Inc. provides comprehensive breast care at both of their locations in downtown Los Angeles and Glendale. Comprehensive care includes:

  • Mammograms and stereotactic biopsies
  • Breast sonograms and sonogram-guided biopsies
  • Breast MRIs and MRI-guided biopsies
  • Consult with medical oncologist, radiation oncologist, and plastic surgeon
  • Genetic testing

 

All biopsies are done by highly specialized breast radiologists.
