| High
Risk Evaluation Our High
Risk Evaluation program is for women who have
a family history of breast cancer, LCIS, atypical
hyperplasia, or other high risk conditions. Our
program gives women the power and knowledge they
need to make decisions about their follow-up care.
Our team is able to offer each women
a personalized risk assessment, options for genetic
counseling and testing, advanced diagnostic procedures and close follow-up with regular clinical exams. In addition, we offer nutrition counseling, psychosocial
support, and stress reduction techniques. We are
involved in several clinical trials for high risk
women.
We will provide you with an
individualized, detailed plan for continued monitoring
to protect your breast health. This plan may include
risk modification recommendations such as: lifestyle
modifications (including dietary changes, exercise,
and stress reduction techniques), increased surveillance with more frequent examinations
of your breasts or utilizing imaging technology such
as MRI, or use of chemo prevention medication such
as Tamoxifen or Evista. We will provide your primary care
physician with a copy of the plan for continuity
of your care.
