Medical Weight Loss
Colonoscopy
This test can be a bit uncomfortable, but it lets your doctor see polyps when they are very small (before they can be found with a fecal occult blood test). Because flexible sigmoidoscopy may miss cancerous polyps that are in the upper part of the colon, some doctors prefer a screening test called colonoscopy. Your doctor will discuss these options with you.

Ovarian Cancer
Everyone has two genes called BRCA1 and BRCA2. Normally, these genes help to prevent cancer tumors from growing. But sometimes a person inherits an abnormal (mutated) form of BRCA1 or BRCA2 from his or her family. This person's chance of getting breast cancer increases. Women from Ashkenazi Jewish families are more likely than other women to carry abnormal BRCA1 and BRCA2. Mutations in these genes have also been linked to ovarian cancer.
Colon Cancer
If you are in one of these groups, you may also need to be tested more often than a person who doesn't have risk factors for colorectal cancer.
Endoscopy
If your doctor suspects that you might have stomach cancer, he or she will look at your medical history and do a complete physical exam. Your doctor might use endoscopy (say: "in-dos-ko-pee") to try to see the tumor. For this exam, a thin, lighted tube is put into your mouth and passed down to your stomach. Your doctor may give you medicine before the test to make it more comfortable.
Cancer Care
In the current modern era of cancer care, breast cancer is treated by a multi-disciplinary team of specialists, including oncologists, cancer surgeons, radiation oncologists and reconstructive plastic surgeons. All of these disciplines are a part of your cancer care team, provided by The Breast Care Center at McClellan Park and the physicians of Southeast Cancer Network, Inc. (scheduled to open Spring 2009).

Ultrasound
A breast lump that you can feel might hurt or make you worry about cancer. Breast cyst aspiration can help your doctor find out if the lump you feel is a cyst or a tumor. Aspiration gives you this information right away, so you don't have to wait for the results of a mammogram or an ultrasound exam.
MRI
Your doctor might order blood tests to check your hormone levels and to see if you are pregnant. Your doctor might also want you to have an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scan of your head to see if you have a tumor or abnormality of the pituitary gland.

Gynecomastia
Gynecomastia is a condition in which firm breast tissue forms in males. The breast tissue is usually less than 1-1/2 inches across and is located directly under the nipple. Gynecomastia may be present on one side or on both sides. This condition may make the breast tender.
Cosmetic Surgery

Skin Cancer
The sun's rays, which are called ultraviolet A and ultraviolet B rays (UVA and UVB rays) damage your skin. This leads to early wrinkles, skin cancer and other skin problems.
Cyst
Lesions
Adequate care of breast cancer and breast problems in general depends on the availability of up-to-date expertise and technology, especially in regard to breast biopsy. Biopsy is a procedure used to obtain a small sample of a breast lesion to diagnose its cause. Lesions can range from lumps you can feel, to tiny specs of calcium only visible on magnified x-rays, to cysts and other lesions best seen by ultrasound. The surgeons of The Breast Care Center at McClellan Park utilize a broad range of technologies to support the diagnosis and treatment of breast conditions, including...
