Risk Assessment

Treatment

What is risk assessment?

The risk assessment for breast disease is mostly based on family history and sometimes on genetic tests (BRCA1, BRCA2, PALB2 or TP53 gene mutation) as per international guidelines and evidence-based medicine.

 

What to expect from the visit?

Based on your personal risk profile we will discuss the best management options which can vary from minor lifestyle choices to periodic follow-up, to pharmacologic treatment,  to risk reduction surgery. During the visit, I will show you how to perform a correct breast self-examination.
