Being at high-risk for breast cancer can come with many questions, concerns and require early breast screening and additional testing. At Ascension Saint Thomas, we created PINK, a high-risk breast program designed to support women who have increased risk for breast cancer.
PINK at Ascension Saint Thomas focuses on:
Preventive care for breast cancer
Imaging and testing
Navigation and support
Key risk factor monitoring
PINK at Ascension Saint Thomas is a dedicated program for women to help them manage their breast health with prevention and monitoring. Women who will benefit from this program include those with:
-
Family history of breast cancer
-
Known genetic mutation (BRCA1, BRCA2 and other breast cancer genes)
-
History of abnormal breast biopsies
-
Radiation exposure to the chest
-
Other breast cancer risks factors
Comprehensive high-risk breast care
Our comprehensive high-risk breast program provides personalized care plans tailored to your individual risk. Breast specialists can perform risk assessments that show your lifetime risk for breast cancer. Based on your risk, our dedicated APP breast certified women’s health nurse practitioner will support you through steps towards early detection and long-term breast health. If breast cancer is detected, you will have access to a team of breast surgeons and cancer specialists to create a treatment plan that’s right for you.
The PINK high-risk program includes:
Breast cancer is more treatable when found early, and women with high-risk can benefit from more frequent and advanced screening, such as breast MRI in addition to mammography.
