Breast cancer screening for women at high risk
Breast cancer can be a silent threat. Breast cancer screening is of importance for all women, but even more so for those at higher than average risk. If you are at higher risk of developing breast cancer, you may need to undergo earlier and more frequent screening than other women. In addition to clinical screening and imaging, genetic testing gives women at high risk the chance to learn if their breast cancer or family history of breast cancer is due to an inherited gene mutation, providing powerful information to guide your health care.
