Who Is Eligible?
-
Family History and Genetic Factors:
A strong family history of breast or ovarian cancer or a known high-risk gene mutation, such as BRCA1 or BRCA2, may support high-risk screening.

Elevated Risk Scores:
Validated risk models may be used to estimate lifetime breast cancer risk. A calculated lifetime risk of about 20% or greater often leads to consideration of high-risk screening protocols.
-
High-Risk Breast Biopsy Findings:
Certain biopsy findings, including atypical ductal hyperplasia or lobular carcinoma in situ, can increase breast cancer risk and may affect screening recommendations.
-
Dense Breast Tissue and Other Risk Factors:
Dense breast tissue combined with other risk factors, prior chest radiation or other significant history may also warrant a more individualized screening approach.
-
Additional Risk Factors:
If you have other risk factors, such as a history of radiation therapy to the chest, we can evaluate your eligibility.
