Dr. Bergonzi is engaged in radiological and ultrasound diagnostics and pathology of the breast with the help of mammography and ultrasound.

From the very beginning of her career, she devoted herself to the diagnosis of mammary glands, gaining a lot of experience over the years thanks to the extensive medical history of the Milan Institute of Oncology, where in recent years she had the opportunity to observe about 20,000 cases per year of breast pathology of all types, benign and malignant.
