Office & Outpatient Procedures & Services
Texas Breast Specialists care for patients with a team-based approach. Weekly pathology review and tumor conferences, which bring together the joint expertise of our medical team, are a hallmark of our office and outpatient program.
Our community-based approach removes the feeling of isolation of being away from home and eliminates the strenuous burden of frequent travel for appointments at distant treatment facilities to receive quality care.
Office and outpatient procedures and services available at Texas Breast Specialists include:
Infected fluids collected within the body form an abscess, which requires drainage to remove the infection.
A breast MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) makes detailed pictures of the inside of the breast using radio waves, strong magnets, and a computer.
Breast sonography/ultrasound is a useful way to examine some types of breast changes.
Cryotherapy of fibroadenomas is a minimally invasive treatment that freezes and destroys benign tumors.
A cyst aspiration is an outpatient procedure most often performed when a lump on the breast is likely to be filled with fluid and is easily accessible.
L-DEX is a ratio that measures lymph fluid changes that can create build-up in soft body tissues (lymphedema), resulting in swelling.
When a mediport is no longer needed for treatment, a trained medical professional will remove the device.
Molecular breast imaging (MBI) is a nuclear medicine technique to detect breast cancer for women with higher-than-average risk for the disease or have dense breasts.
A needle biopsy may be used to determine if a suspicious area on the breast is cancerous.
Partial-breast irradiation delivers radiation directly to the breast to reduce risk of recurrence while shortening treatment time.
A skin biopsy is the primary way doctors diagnose breast cancer.
