Our multi-phased approach begins with an easy-to-fill-out breast cancer risk assessment survey that calculates risk through a series of questions about your personal background and family history. You will complete this survey electronically at your scheduled visit.
The survey addresses:
- Personal medical history
- Family history
- Reproductive history
- Lifestyle habits, including diet and exercise
- Hormone use
Results of this questionnaire are tabulated by specialized software and analyzed by your team of breast cancer specialists who will discuss the findings with you in person. You will learn about your level of risk and how it impacts choices about your health.
Next-step recommendations may involve:
If it is determined that you are at an increased risk for developing breast cancer, we will invite you to take part in an in-depth screening program tailored just for you. Learn more about our breast cancer risk-tailored screenings.
Women who discover that they are not at increased risk following our initial assessment will return to their healthcare providers reassured and better educated about breast health.
