Innovative Breast Pap Test

It is a fact that all women are at risk of developing breast cancer. The Breast Pap Test is the latest innovation in modern women's health care.  It allows early detection of cellular changes within breast ducts to help you take control of breast health.

The new Breast Pap Test can easily help identify many women who are at the greatest risk of developing breast cancer, using a simple and reliable test.  It takes only minutes and is the first and only fully automated, noninvasive method for screening and monitoring asymptomatic women. If breast cancer is discovered early, while contained within the breast (stage 0 or 1), survival rate is almost 100%. Earlier detection could ultimately reduce breast cancer mortality.

By analogy, since the introduction of the routine gynecological Pap test, the mortality of cervical cancer has decreased by about 70%. We hope that similar, positive results will be achieved by having the annual "Breast Pap Test".

Women Ages 25-55

• Did you know 8 out of 9 women diagnosed with breast cancer do not have a direct relative with the disease?
• Did you know that 250,000 US women under 40 are living with breast cancer? Because of denser breasts mammograms are not very effective in younger women, but the Breast Pap Test is.

The new Screening test, The Breast Pap Test, can detect abnormalities at the cellular level years earlier than mammograms can detect a lump. That is why Dr. Marcovici recommends the new Breast Pap test for all women between 25 and 55, regardless of family history

We are proud to announce that our practice, Advanced Ob/Gyn Care, is the very first one in Connecticut to offer  the BREAST PAP TEST. This new test provides an opportunity to identify women at high risk and develop a specific management plan to detect breast cancer early should it arise.
