FREE Webinar - Risk 101: Introduction to Breast Cancer Risk Assessment
About this Program
There is now broad alignment by professional societies in women's health on the use of breast cancer risk assessment to identify patients who may benefit from high-risk interventions. As a result, using quantitative risk models to help implement high-risk guidelines has become an emerging standard of care in screening programs. This underutilized care pathway has tremendous potential in early detection and cancer prevention. This session provides a primer on the basics of breast cancer risk assessment to enable more confident providers, more efficient programs and more informed patient conversations.
