Breast Cancer Care Services in Jefferson City

A Full Care Team Supporting You from Detection to Recovery

Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in women in the United States, and 1 in 8 women will develop it in their lifetime. Jefferson City Medical Group brings together a dedicated Comprehensive Breast Care team to support you at every stage, from your first screening through treatment and recovery.

As Central Missouri's largest independent, physician-owned practice, our oncologists, radiologists, surgeons, and reconstructive specialists work together throughout one practice in Jefferson City. Our physician-owned model means faster access, cost-effective care, and a team focused entirely on your individual needs.

How JCMG Coordinates Your Breast Cancer Care

Defeating breast cancer takes a coordinated team. JCMG brings together specialists across multiple clinics who communicate directly and share your records in real time. Your care team includes:

Radiology and Imaging: 3-D digital mammography with computer-aided detection (CAD) and image-guided biopsy, accredited by the American College of Radiology and the FDA
Oncology and Hematology: Your oncologist leads your treatment plan, including chemotherapy, targeted therapy, hormone therapy, and post-surgical adjuvant therapy, with an on-site infusion suite
Surgical Specialists: Lumpectomy and mastectomy procedures performed by JCMG's experienced general surgeons
Reconstructive and Plastic Surgery: Breast reconstruction using your own tissue or implants, coordinated closely with oncology and surgery

From your first mammogram to your final follow-up appointment, every provider on your care team stays connected through shared records and direct communication. This coordination reduces delays and keeps your treatment on track at every stage.

Call us at (573) 556-7718 to connect with our breast cancer care team today.

The JCMG Advantage for Breast Cancer Patients

Physician ownership means your oncologist and surgical team make decisions based on your individual needs, not corporate protocols. Because JCMG specialists practice in the same building, your radiologist, oncologist, surgeon, and plastic surgeon coordinate directly without the delays common in larger systems. Your records transfer instantly across your entire care team, so no one is left waiting for results.

JCMG delivers cost-effective breast cancer care compared to hospital-owned systems. Our on-site chemotherapy infusion suite sits next to JCMG Oncology, reducing the logistical burden during treatment. Our board-certified radiologists bring more than 100 years of combined mammography experience and use 3-D Hologic full-field digital mammography alongside CAD, which increases breast cancer detection by more than 20% compared to standard mammography.

When to Schedule a Breast Cancer Screening or Consultation

Early detection of breast cancer significantly improves outcomes. The American College of Radiology recommends yearly screening mammogramsfor average-risk patients. Schedule a screening or consultation if:

You are 40 or older and have not had a mammogram this year
You have dense breast tissue, a family history of breast cancer, or other elevated risk factors
You notice a new lump, skin change, nipple discharge, or breast pain
Your provider recommends earlier or additional imaging based on your health history
You are pre- or perimenopausal and due for a baseline evaluation

Talk to your primary care provider or gynecologist about the right screening schedule for your risk level. Early consultation gives your care team more options and improves long-term outcomes.

Frequently Asked Questions About Breast Cancer Care

What is the gold standard for breast cancer screening?

Mammography is the gold standard for breast cancer screening and diagnosis. Researchshows early detection through mammography decreases breast cancer deaths by 30%. The American College of Radiology recommends yearly screening mammograms for average-risk patients. Talk to your provider about when to start based on your personal health history and risk factors.

What type of mammogram does JCMG offer?

JCMG offers 3-D Hologic full-field digital mammograms performed with computer-aided detection (CAD). 3-D mammography significantly increases breast cancer detection in women under 50, those with dense breast tissue, and pre- or perimenopausal women of any age. CAD increases detection rates by more than 20% compared to mammograms interpreted without it. JCMG Mammography is accredited by the American College of Radiology and the Food and Drug Administration.

What surgical options are available for breast cancer treatment?

JCMG Surgical Specialists perform both lumpectomy, a breast-conserving procedure to remove the cancer and surrounding tissue while preserving the breast, and mastectomy, which removes the whole breast. For patients undergoing mastectomy, JCMG Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery performs breast reconstruction using your own tissue or saline and silicone implants, coordinated closely with oncology and general surgery.

What happens after breast cancer surgery?

After surgery, your oncologist may recommend adjuvant therapy to lower the risk of recurrence. Depending on your cancer type, this includes chemotherapy, radiation therapy, hormone therapy, or targeted therapy. JCMG's on-site chemotherapy infusion suite sits next to JCMG Oncology, and your full care team continues to coordinate your care through every phase of post-surgical treatment.

How do I schedule a mammogram at JCMG?

To schedule your mammogram, contact your primary care provider or gynecologist. Established patients with a primary care provider at JCMG can also call JCMG Radiology directly at (573) 556-7755. Your mammogram results go directly to your primary care provider, keeping your entire care team informed.
