While millions of people are breast cancer survivors, it remains one of the most common cancers affecting women. Regardless of the high survival rate of breast cancer I often hear misconceptions or myths about the disease from patients. In this day and age of online information, it’s easy to get bombarded by what I often refer to as “Dr. Google”. It’s important to have the facts and dispel common myths surrounding breast cancer. Myth No. 1: You’ll only get breast cancer if you have a family history. Brea...

“Lung cancer,” those words can be a devastating diagnosis. While it is true that lung cancer is the 2nd leading cause of cancer deaths for both men and women in the U.S.; our message, at the Midland Health Lung Center, is that lung cancer doesn’t have to be a death sentence. Part of the reason for the high number of lung cancer deaths is that often lung cancer is not diagnosed until the late stages, when symptoms are present. When detected early and treated 5-year survival rates can increase from 6%, wit...

Mammography is the main test used to find breast cancer in women who do not have symptoms and is the only screening test that has been shown to reduce the number of women who die from breast cancer by about 30%. However, breast MRI is the most sensitive method of finding breast cancer, especially in women who are at a very high risk for breast cancer, meaning greater than a 20-25% chance of developing breast cancer in their life. So women at very high risk are recommended to have both a yearly mammogram...
