Prevention of Women’s Cancers
At Polyclinic.ae, consultations are provided by a highly experienced Russian-speaking mammologist specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of breast diseases. The doctor manages both benign and malignant conditions and performs examinations for patients with fibroadenomas, cysts, mastopathy, and inflammatory processes.
All modern diagnostic methods are available in the clinic: expert breast ultrasound, mammography, and, if necessary, biopsy and sampling for analysis. Each consultation includes a comprehensive breast examination and risk assessment.
For women with implants, the doctor also conducts implant monitoring and evaluates their condition.
