About the Breast Cancer Risk Assessment Program
All women are at risk for developing breast cancer, just to greater or lesser degrees. Understanding your risk may help you choose ways to reduce your risk or screening options that would be best for you.
Jefferson's Breast Cancer Risk Assessment Program serves to offer all women an opportunity to learn more about their individual risk for developing breast cancer in their lifetime.
Our clinicians discuss with you the following information to calculate your individual risk:
- Medical history
- Family history
- Lifestyle information including diet, exercise and tobacco use
At the end of your risk assessment, you will have a better understanding of your individual risk for developing breast cancer in your lifetime, as well as a plan on how to reduce your risk and the best screening options for you.
