SUMMARY: North Mississippi Health Services has become the official sponsor of the “Wellness Wednesday” segment, focusing on health awareness. In light of October being Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Dr. Danny Sanders, director of the breast program at North Mississippi Medical Center, discussed advancements in breast cancer care. He emphasized the integration of oncologic and plastic surgery, improving cosmetic outcomes for patients post-surgery. Dr. Sanders underscored the importance of early screening, starting at age 40, especially for those with a family history of breast cancer, due to the increasing number of younger patients diagnosed. Enhanced imaging techniques like 3D mammography have significantly improved early detection.

WTVA anchor Tanya Carter spoke with Dr. Danny Sanders of the NMMC Breast and General Surgery Clinic about mammograms and more.
