Mammogram Results Wait Time Goal 48 Hours
San Jose, CA 94306
United States of America
What this means to Palo Alto residents is a significant reduction in wait time after a mammogram. The typical mammogram can take weeks to get results, and then more time to set up a course of action for treatment. Now with the new equipment at the PAMF, "the Center's goal is to reduce the time from finding a breast lump to a definitive course of action to 48 hours," according to PAMF.
One of the best courses of action in the treatment of breast cancer is early detection and early treatment. They also intend to keep up with cutting edge technology. Next year they plan on installing a new piece of imaging equipment when it is available from the manufacturer.
The new clinic is at 49 Wells, just behind the main building off El Camino Real.
