Upstate Mammography Van to Visit LaFayette

Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers in women, affecting one in eight women. It's also one of the most treatable cancers when detected early. Mammograms - x-rays of the breasts - are the most effective screening procedure for the early signs of breast cancer.

To help more women get screened, Upstate University Hospital’s Mammography Van will visit the LaFayette Junior/Senior High School on Tuesday, May 31, 2022, and will provide screenings from 10 a.m.-3:30 p.m. for women who have scheduled an appointment. To be eligible for a mammogram on the van, women should be 40 years and older, not have had a mammogram in the past 12 months, and not be experiencing breast problems.

The mammography van is equipped with a state-of-the art 3D digital mammogram system, private exam room, dressing rooms and a waiting room. To schedule an appointment for a mammogram with the van, women should call (315) 464-2588. Appointments can also be requested online at:
