Breast & Ovarian Cancer Prevention
The Hoag Breast & Ovarian Cancer Prevention Program
Hoag Breast & Ovarian Cancer Prevention Program is elevating the standard of care for “previvors,” women who have tested positive for a genetic mutation that increases their risk for breast and/or ovarian cancer.
Previvors have specific needs for reducing their risk for cancer including:
- Increased surveillance with mammogram and MRI
- Chemoprevention
- Surgical prevention
Hoag is proud to offer these women more than medical management. We are treating the entire woman—mind, body, and soul—with a holistic approach and multidisciplinary team of experts.
The Hoag Breast & Ovarian Cancer Prevention Program team meets monthly to discuss patient cancer risk-reduction strategies and outcomes, ensuring the patients have access to the most advanced medical and surgical options and receive the wellness advice and support they need to handle real-life issues involving reproduction, stress, diet and exercise.
Your Genetics May Affect Your Cancer Risk
Women who are more at risk for breast and ovarian cancer typically have a family history of it. The Breast and Ovarian Cancer Prevention Clinic is open to any woman who carries a genetic mutation that increases her risk of breast or ovarian cancer.
