Time for school and time for Mom!

With the start of school comes a perfect time for Mom to take care of herself!

Come in to your local Breast Doctor to make certain that you don't have breast cancer, then get the prescription for breast cancer prevention.

For most women, screening for breast cancer includes self breast examination and clinical breast examination.  For those women without increased risk, most physicians (including this Breast Doctor) recommend screening mammograms, beginning at age 40. 

For those younger women, screening mammograms may be beneficial at a younger age: if a family history of breast cancer at a young age, a positive HALO test or a high BREVAGen test result.

Breast sonogram or ultrasound may be recommended for those with dense breast tissue, a positive HALO test, a high BREVAGen test result or a mass found by examination or mammography.


Once you are certain that you don't have breast cancer then we can write the prescription for breast cancer prevention individualized for you.



Together we can prevent 86,000 breast cancer cases this year!
