Saint Luke’s High-Risk Breast Clinic
Saint Luke’s High-Risk Breast Clinic delivers supplemental services for individuals who are at heightened risk for breast cancer. Through collaboration with the Hereditary Cancer Program at Saint Luke’s Cancer Institute, patients will meet with a genetic counselor to evaluate family history in identifying genetic risk factors.
If you answer “yes” to any of the below questions, schedule an appointment with Saint Luke’s High-Risk Breast Clinic to discuss a traditional breast MRI in addition to a yearly screening mammogram.
- Do you have a family history of breast or ovarian cancers?
- Do you have a known genetic mutation associated with an increased lifetime risk for breast cancer, such as the BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes?
- Do you have non-genetic risk factors, such as multiple previous biopsies or risk markers by pathology (for example, lobular carcinoma in situ)?
- Have you had a previous breast cancer diagnosis and require additional surveillance?
- Do you believe you’re at increased risk and would like the extra assurance of frequent screening?
If you’re not sure if you’re at high risk, complete this survey to see if a genetic counseling referral would be appropriate. If survey results suggest you may be at high risk, call Saint Luke’s High-Risk Breast Clinic at 816-932-5332.
