“Breast cancer research is vital to our patients’ outcomes. Early detection from screenings has played the biggest role in physicians’ ability to identify cancer since the 1970s. Fortunately, WashU offers screenings in many different locations throughout St. Louis at multiple satellite sites, as well as a mammography van to provide access to underserved communities.”
