Free breast cancer risk assessments are another way the Breast Care Center clinical team
helps Share the Care. One of our experienced and compassionate clinical navigators assesses
if you are at low, average, or high risk for breast cancer. We also estimate how much of this risk
could be attributed to inherited mutations in the BRCA 1 or 2 genes, a factor in about five to 10
percent of breast cancers. The assessment includes:
- Personal and family history of breast cancer and ovarian cancer
- Hormone exposure and supplementation
- Lifestyle factors (exercise, weight, diet, alcohol use)
- Number of pregnancies
Following your assessment, you and your primary care physician will receive a report
summarizing your risk for breast cancer along with recommendations from the Baskin Breast
Care Center team.
