High-Risk Breast Cancer Screening
High-Risk Breast Cancer Screening
Some individuals carry a higher-than-average risk of developing breast cancer due to genetics, family history, or other factors. High-risk screening programs are designed to detect any changes at the earliest possible stage.
At Onco360 Cancer Centre, Dr. Vishakha P. Sinha, an experienced Breast & Gynec Onco Surgeon, offers personalized high-risk screening programs that combine risk assessment, genetic counseling referrals, and enhanced imaging protocols to monitor patients more closely than standard screening guidelines.
Early identification of risk allows for proactive monitoring and, where appropriate, preventive strategies to reduce the likelihood of developing breast cancer.

- Known BRCA1 or BRCA2 Gene Mutation
