Description
“We are constantly evolving,” said Roman Skoracki, MD, medical director of the Stefanie Spielman Comprehensive Breast Center. "There are so many exciting things go on." In this episode, Skoracki fills us in on some of these advances, including enhanced breast cancer screening technology; a program to reach out to women in underserved urban and rural areas to provide screening mammograms; a High-Risk Breast Cancer Program; innovative clinical trials, a new, Inflammatory Breast Cancer Program; and a comprehensive Survivorship Program to help improve the quality of life of Spielman patients. “We identified the hurdles some women have to overcome in order to be screened,” Skoracki said. “They can be socio-economic, language barriers, transportation issues … we want to reach out to these communities.” Under Skoracki’s leadership, the Spielman will continue to evolve. “We have an emotional attachment with our patients and we want to continue to push the envelope and give our patients the very best,” he said.
