Why test for breast cancer risk?

Happy New Year and welcome 2012!


70% of breast cancers occur in women with no family history and another 23% have a family history but did not inherit the known breast cancer gene BRCA 1 or 2.  That means 93% of women may not have a good idea of personal breast cancer risk at all.  


We now have a validated risk assessment tool for women 35 years or older that integrates clinical features with genetic markers.  This BREVAGen test includes clinical factors related to estrogen exposure and breast health with genetic information obtained from a cheek swab. 


The test result then allows us to more clearly identify individual risk and set up a personal plan for screening and risk reduction.  


You can know your breast cancer risk and confidently take charge of your screening program!


If you want to know your hidden breast cancer risk, then this is the test for you!
