What makes a patient high-risk for cancer?
Many patients assume that a negative test for a cancer-causing genetic mutation means they are not at a high risk for breast cancer, but that’s not always the case. In fact, only 10% of breast cancer patients have a genetic mutation.
Yara Robertson, M.D., F.A.C.S., who is a high risk patient herself, sees many patients who require extra screenings due to their family history. Hear from her below about what makes a patient high risk for breast cancer and how CARTI helps them manage their risk.
