Welcome to the Breast Cancer
Detection Center of Alaska!
Also known as the BCDC – The Breast Cancer Detection Center of Alaska was founded in Fairbanks in 1976 and has been guided by the mission to increase awareness of the survivability of breast cancer and the benefits of early detection by delivering screening services and educational programs throughout the state of Alaska. We serve patients in Fairbanks and on-site in Alaskan communities where breast cancer screening services are not readily available.
The Importance of Early Detection
Breast cancer is 99% survivable when detected at its earliest stage, making early detection through regular screenings essential. Prioritizing routine mammograms significantly improves treatment outcomes and increases survival rates. Take control of your health—schedule your mammogram today and ensure the best chance for a brighter, healthier future.
Mobile Mammography
BCDC brings state-of-the-art breast cancer screening services to communities across Alaska, ensuring access to life-saving care regardless of insurance status. By reaching underserved areas, we break down barriers to early detection and provide the resources needed to empower individuals in the fight against breast cancer.
Empowering Alaska Through Breast Cancer Awareness and Education
1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with invasive breast cancer in her lifetime. In Alaska, where cancer remains the leading cause of death, raising awareness and promoting education about early detection are vital. BCDC works tirelessly to empower communities through educational events and local health fairs, fostering conversations about prevention and the importance of regular screenings.
Together, we can create a more informed and proactive approach to breast health across the state.
