Breast Cancer Screening and Early Detection: HerScan Comes to St. Albans, WV
Breast health deserves attention throughout the year. Regular screening, understanding your breast tissue, and discussing changes with your healthcare provider are important steps in being proactive about your health.
Holistic, Inc. is welcoming HerScan Breast Ultrasound Screening to its St. Albans, West Virginia, location on Wednesday, November 18, 2026. This event gives women in the community an opportunity to learn about supplemental breast ultrasound screening and another option for breast imaging.
Why Is Breast Cancer Screening Important?
Breast cancer screening helps look for signs of breast cancer before symptoms may become noticeable. Staying informed about recommended screening options and following up on changes or concerns can help support earlier evaluation.
Mammograms remain an important part of routine breast cancer screening. However, some women have dense breast tissue, which can make certain abnormalities more difficult to see on a mammogram.
Depending on individual risk factors and medical history, a healthcare provider may recommend additional imaging, such as breast ultrasound.
What Is Supplemental Breast Ultrasound Screening?
Breast ultrasound uses sound waves to create images of breast tissue. Unlike mammography, it does not use ionizing radiation or require breast compression.
HerScan offers supplemental breast ultrasound screening that examines both breasts and the underarm areas. The screening is performed by a certified sonographer, with images interpreted by a board-certified radiologist.
According to HerScan, appointments generally take approximately 20 minutes.
Who May Benefit From Additional Breast Imaging?
Supplemental breast ultrasound may be an option for some women, particularly those with dense breast tissue or other individual screening considerations.
It may also provide additional information when evaluating certain breast concerns. However, the appropriate type and timing of screening depend on personal health history and recommendations from a healthcare provider.
Important: Breast ultrasound does not replace routine mammograms. It is a supplemental imaging option, and HerScan's screening service does not diagnose breast cancer.
