TriHealth breast cancer patient, surgical oncologist share screening insights

May 05, 2023 • TriHealth and Cincinnati Business Courier • Season 1 • Episode 22

When Ohio House Bill 371 passed last year, insurance companies had to start paying for additional screenings beyond the traditional mammogram for patients with a higher risk of breast cancer.

TriHealth patient Jenny Dermody called the additional imaging coverage “a huge blessing” in this episode of the Getting Health Care Right podcast. She took advantage and got a 3D mammogram after her regular one last fall — and the team found lobular carcinoma.

Dermody shares her story in this episode alongside Dr. Kathleen Raque, a surgical oncologist with TriHealth. Listen to their conversation with Jamie Smith, president and publisher of the Cincinnati Business Courier, to hear more about:
•Why patients with dense breast tissue may need additional imaging in their annual cancer screenings.
•Dermody’s treatment plan and takeaways from her cancer journey.
•The percentage of cancers Raque diagnoses that are “more aggressive.”
•TriHealth’s mobile mammography unit.
