Guthrie’s High-Risk Breast Clinic offers extra clinical tracking for patients at high risk for breast cancer. Potential patients may refer themselves or be referred by a primary care provider or specialist. Patients are seen in the high-risk setting if they have been identified as being at increased risk for breast cancer due to family history, previous abnormal biopsies or due to other risk factors. The High-Risk Breast Clinic performs a thorough exam and screening of each new patient to determine her risk, including genetic analysis, genetic counseling, review of family medical history and personal risk factors, clinical breast exams, education and more. High-risk patients have two appointments per year -- once for a clinical breast exam only, and again for another clinical breast exam and appropriate breast imaging.
