So, who should get the BREVAGen risk assessment test?

The BREVAGen test is an office cheek swab with 7 bits of clinical data about you.  It doesn't hurt and doesn't take long.  It has been clinically validated in a large study of women over 35.  So, who should get one?

  • the other 80% (those without a very strong family history)
  • those with a strong family history who tested negative for BRCA 1 & 2
  • those with a family history not meeting criteria for BRCA 1 & 2 testing
  • those who have had a beast biopsy
  • those with an intermediate Gail Score
  • obese women
  • women with dense breast tissue
  • anyone over 35 who wants to know her risk more clearly

Check the website http://brevagen.com/find to find a doctor near you.  You may even figure out your own Gail score (the clinical part) before your doctor visit.  If you have any question, please don't hesitate to call me 512-451-5788 or comment below.




Together we can prevent 75,00 breast cancer cases each year!
