Methodist Jennie Edmundson rolled out a new Hereditary Cancer Risk Program this summer to offer high-risk assessment and genetic screening.
Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths among women. There is power in knowing your risk. Hereditary cancer testing offers a personalized breast cancer risk assessment that can help determine the best medical management strategy, individualized to you. Did you know:
- Genetic mutations can be passed down from the mother’s or father’s side of the family?
- Up to 15% of all breast cancer is caused by an inherited gene mutation?
- Your personal history may put you at increased risk?
Whether you or a family member have been touched by cancer or you’re simply interested in reducing your risk, Methodist Jennie Edmundson is dedicated to helping you understand and prevent disease through genetic counseling and testing.
