What Happens After Your Mammogram?

After you receive your mammogram at Denver Health, in most cases you will receive the results the same day. If nothing of note is found in the screening, there is nothing further to do at the time.
 
If the radiologists discover anything needing further examination, including anything that could be or potentially turn into breast cancer, Denver Health may be able to offer a same day biopsy as a next step. A biopsy could result in a breast cancer diagnosis.
 
We understand how overwhelming a breast cancer diagnosis can be and we are here to help. We offer the highest quality comprehensive breast cancer care through our teams in breast surgery and hematology/oncology. Learn more.
