Your annual breast exam is coming up and now, thanks to new technology, you don’t have to worry about radiation or pain. The Tribal Public Health team is excited to introduce the new breast cancer exam program Bexa™, launching this month at the SMSC, which offers a more convenient approach to early detection. This new program uses radiation-free technology that has a 90% accuracy rate at detecting abnormalities in breast tissue as small as 5 millimeters or the size of a pencil eraser!
Bexa™ is designed to provide results right away. If any abnormality is detected, the Bexa™ technician will take further steps at the time of the appointment to ensure your health is being addressed and provide further information or ultrasound work on the spot.
The benefits don’t stop there!
- Bexa™ is pain-free. This means no squishing!
- Ability to screen under the age of 40.
- These exams only require about 15 minutes, so you can fit it into an average lunch break.
- Did we mention it’s on-site at the SMSC? Provided in a serene, calming environment meant to even further eliminate any discomfort.
- Pregnant? No problem! Bexa™ is radiation-free and safe for pregnant women.
Many women may find getting an annual breast cancer exam to be an important and empowering step in taking charge of their health. These regular screenings are one of the best ways to catch cancer or abnormalities at an early stage when it will be most treatable.
So, if you’ve been putting your breast exam off due to fear or inconvenience, now is the best time to get an appointment scheduled. Anyone covered by SMSC insurance is eligible for a FREE Bexa™ exam. No need to worry about time, eligibility, or pain—Bexa™ is here to help! We are confident you will find this valuable exam to be an easy and comfortable experience.
