The Lieselotte Tansey Breast Center at Ochsner was established to provide an interdisciplinary approach to the detection and treatment of breast disease in a serene and beautiful environment. At the Breast Center, surgeons and radiologists that specialize in the evaluation and management of breast disease work together in the same facility to provide women with comprehensive breast services and swift diagnosis. By working in close proximity, the Breast Center fosters synergy and efficiency that is unachievable in any other setting.

The Breast Center Team is comprised of compassionate and caring individuals who understand and acknowledge the concerns, anxieties and fears that many women experience when faced with the possibility of breast cancer.

We are also actively involved in breast cancer research, helping to develop new and more effective methods of preventing, diagnosing and treating breast disease. Past research has had far-reaching positive effects on breast cancer treatment, and studies underway offer the promise of even greater changes.

The Breast Center was named after Mrs. Lieselotte Tansey, a breast cancer survivor and Ochsner patient, whose generosity made the Breast Center a reality. Mrs. Tansey resides in Germany and comes to Ochsner for her healthcare. She realized the value of having a place where women can get a swift diagnosis and treatment for breast cancer in a pleasant environment. It is because of her support that we are able to fulfill the mission of the Breast Center.
