Risk & Prevention
Knowledge is power - the power to prevent.
Although the causes of breast cancer are not completely defined, it is clear that age, gender, lifetime exposure to estrogen and a woman's age at the time of first childbirth play significant roles.

We recommend a Custom Breast Cancer Risk Assessment for each of our patients.

In addition, there are some ways to make breast cancer less likely to develop.  These ways include eating a healthy diet, exercising regularly and limiting alcohol consumption.

For women at higher risk for breast cancer, anti-estrogen drugs or other risk-prevention may be appropriate.
