Who reads your result

Treat cancer with medicines, such as chemotherapy, immunotherapy and targeted therapy.
Mammogram isn’t available in Vizag itself. CION arranges it at a partner centre, usually in a bigger city, and your doctor tells you where to go. Your consultation and follow-up can be in Vizag or by video.
2Does a mammogram hurt?
It can be uncomfortable for a few seconds while the breast is pressed. Tell the radiographer if it hurts.
3How often should I have one?
It depends on your age and risk. Your CION doctor tells you how often you need it.
4Is it covered by insurance?
Many insurance plans cover scans that a doctor has asked for. CION’s team helps check your cover.
