Breast Cancer Survival Rates at Doylestown Hospital Exceed National Averages


 

 

The Cancer Center at Doylestown Hospital is a reassuring resource for women facing breast cancer. The Center treats about 100 women for breast cancer yearly and its excellent care yields superior results. Doylestown Hospital’s five-year survival rate for the disease tops both national and regional averages.

Many more women receive advanced diagnostic care, with nearly 26,000 patients undergoing digital or conventional mammograms annually at the hospital’s radiology sites. Hospital staff understands the anxiety abnormal results can provoke, so these patients undergo ultrasounds within 48 hours and get results that same day. Should a patient find a lump in her breast herself, the same rapid timetable applies.
