Our Rapid Screening & Diagnostic Breast Center is a multidisciplinary clinic, which means that all of our patients’ imaging exams, and any potential biopsies, can be conducted in a single, time-saving visit. The delay between first finding a suspicious lump and getting final results is cut dramatically, greatly reducing patient anxiety.

VM-Med Breast Center patients are usually able to get an appointment with a breast expert physician on the same day that they request it and final results are available within 48 hours of the biopsy. If surgery is then required, it can often be scheduled in the same week as the diagnosis.

Each individual case of breast cancer is thoroughly assessed by a group of experts during weekly tumour board meetings. During these meetings, a personalized course of treatment is mapped out by specialist physicians including general and plastic-reconstructive surgeons, radiologists, pathologists, surgical oncologists, medical oncologists, and radiation oncologists.

VM-Med is proud to be the first Canadian member of the National Consortium of Breast Centers, a nonprofit membership organization dedicated to excellence in breast health care.
