More about the doctor

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.

We place strong emphasis on the prevention of women’s cancers. The mammologist, together with Polyclinic.ae gynecologists, conducts screenings and preventive check-ups aimed at the early detection of breast cancer and other gynecologic malignancies.
