You don't need to live in fear — let us help you learn about your options to manage and reduce your cancer risk.
Roswell Park’s High Risk Breast Cancer Program is the region's longest-running breast cancer risk assessment and prevention program.
Specifically for women who face a higher risk for breast cancer, our program offers the most advanced screening, surveillance, diagnostic and preventive methods to help you take charge of your health.
You may face a higher risk for breast cancer due to:
- A family history of breast cancer among your parents, siblings or at least two other close relatives
- A family history of ovarian cancer
- Multiple cancers within your family
- A relative diagnosed with breast cancer before menopause
- A known mutation of any of these genes in your family: BRCA1, BRCA2, TP53, PTEN, PALB2, ATM, or CHEK-2
- An abnormal breast biopsy
- Prior radiation to the chest as an adolescent or young adult due to Hodgkin's lymphoma
- A diagnosis of neurofibromatosis, NF-1
Take our questionnaire to determine if you are at a higher risk for breast cancer.
