Eastside Women’s GYN
Personalized Breast Cancer Screening Webinar
Know your risk. Understand your options. Choose your strategy.
Breast cancer screening is no longer quite as simple as “get a mammogram every year.” For some women, a mammogram is exactly the right screening strategy. For others- depending on family history, breast density, genetics, and overall breast cancer risk- additional screening with ultrasound or MRI may be appropriate.
On September 22nd at 8:00pm EST, I’ll be hosting a live webinar: Personalized Breast Cancer Screening Know your risk. I’ll explain how we assess individual breast cancer risk, what breast density means, when genetic testing may be appropriate, and how mammography, ultrasound, and MRI can fit into a personalized screening plan A breast radiologist, Dr Lindsey Massaro, will also join me for the Q&A to answer your imaging questions.
If breast cancer risk is already something you’ve been thinking about- or you would simply prefer to understand your own risk now- you do not need to wait for the webinar. Call the office to schedule a dedicated Breast Cancer Risk Consultation (established patients only). We can do this in person or on a video visit. During this visit, we will review your personal and family history, calculate your breast cancer risk, discuss genetic testing when appropriate, and determine what screening strategy makes the most sense for you. My goal is not to make breast cancer screening more complicated. It is to help you understand your own risk and make thoughtful, informed decisions about your care.
