GYNECOLOGICAL CANCERS & GYN-ONCOLOGY
Cervical Cancer: is most often caused by infection with human papillomavirus (HPV), which is preventable with a vaccine and having a routine PAP test.
Risk Factors
Symptoms
Ovarian Cancer is more likely to be treated successfully when detected in its early stage, when the disease is confined to the ovary. Ovarian cancer often goes undetected until it has spread within the pelvis and abdomen, which makes it more difficult to treat.
Risk Factors & Symptoms
Uterine (Endometrial) Cancer – More than 90% of uterine cancers occur in the endometrium. The number of people diagnosed with endometrial cancer is increasing. Uterine cancer is the fourth most common cancer for women in the United States.

BREAST IMAGING, TESTING, AND PROCEDURES
Our radiologists focus on breast health, cancerous and noncancerous breast disease, including breast cancer in women and men. ARH uses the most advanced technology to accommodate each patient’s needs. We offer 3-D Preventative Mammography screenings without a physician referral if you meet the following criteria:
3D mammography is a revolutionary screening and diagnostic tool that captures images of the breast in thin sections, layer-by-layer, enhancing fine details by minimizing overlapping tissue.
Digital Mammography remains the gold standard for screening for early-stage breast cancer, using computer-based electronics to display the clearest and most precise image that leads to an accurate diagnosis.
MRI creates pictures of soft tissue parts of the body that can sometimes be hard to see using other imaging methods. Breast MRI is sometimes used in women who have already been diagnosed with breast cancer, to help measure the size of the cancer, look for other tumors in the breast, and/or to check for tumors in the opposite breast.
Ultrasound can often tell the difference between fluid-filled cysts (which are unlikely to be cancer) and solid masses (which may need further testing).
BREAST BIOPSY
If a lump is detected on your mammogram or ultrasound, a biopsy may be needed to know what is causing it. A biopsy is the only way to know if a suspicious breast change is cancer. The 3 types of biopsy ARH uses are:
