Inova Mount Vernon Hospital provides a wide range of services in the diagnosis and treatment of many cancers. The American College of Surgeons Commission on Cancer has accredited Inova Mount Vernon as a community hospital cancer program. Our nurses are certified to administer chemotherapy and provide other supportive care to people with cancer. We offer an updated infusion center that provides a comfortable atmosphere for both patients and their families.
Inova Mount Vernon Hospital's Breast Health Center serves as a model for Inova Health System. Dedicated to helping women and men maintain breast health, we offer screening mammograms, comprehensive mammograms and breast sonograms to detect early signs of disease.
We offer digital mammography
At Inova Mount Vernon Hospital, your health means everything to us. That is why we invested in digital mammography – to make sure our patients have the most advanced technologies and treatments to fight cancer. A recent landmark study has proven digital mammography especially effective for women under 50, women who are pre-menopausal or in its early stages, and for women with dense breasts.

for more information on the advantages of this state-of-the-art technology.
If you need a breast biopsy, we perform minimally invasive procedures such as stereotactic breast biopsy and ultrasound-guided breast biopsy. Both allow you to heal quickly and with less risk of scarring. Our cancer program is part of the American Cancer Society's facility information profile program (FIPS). FIPS is an Internet listing of the resources and services available at participating hospitals. It was developed in combination with the Commission on Cancer and American Cancer Society to promote community outreach and consumer-based education.
