Do you want to know your personal risk for breast cancer?

We all know that if you have a family history of breast cancer that you personally may be at increased risk for breast cancer.  BUT only 30% of women have any family history of breast cancer and only 7% will have one of the breast cancer genes.  Now we have a test for everyone else.


This test, called The BREVAGen Breast Cancer Risk Assessment Test, is the first of its kind for breast cancer.  The test combines clinical data about family history, breast biopsies, and reproductive history with your genetics.


We fill out the short answers to seven questions and then swab the inside of each cheek.  The results are usually returned in about three weeks.


The results give two scores: the risk for developing breast cancer in the next 5 years and a lifetime risk.  These two numbers provide us with information to make recommendations for everything from screening to prevention strategies.  The results are based on the actual rate of breast cancer for women in large clinical trials.


So who might consider the test?  

• Anyone who wants to know her personal risk
• Family history, but no a close relative
• Close family history and a negative BRCA 1 & 2 test.
• History of breast biopsy
• History of breast cyst aspiration
• Anyone considering hormone replacement
• Anyone who thinks she might benefit from prevention strategies

Consider this simple in-office test to help you formulate your plan of action.
